'In the era of rapid AI expansion, the symbiotic relationship between AI and security must be addressed,' said Sean Morton, Senior Vice President, Strategic Partnerships, Trellix. 'Together with AWS, we are focused on not only ensuring AI is embedded in security to allow optimum resilience, but also in securing AI itself. This is essential to ensuring organizations can use AI without compromising data integrity, trust, or compliance, particularly for those in regulated sectors.'
Co-development of GenAI-powered security
Trellix and AWS have signed an expanded strategic collaboration agreement (SCA) focused on the enrichment and creation of new GenAI-powered security technologies. Together, Trellix and AWS will address the most pressing security-use cases through the co-development of GenAI solutions that combine Amazon Bedrock and other AWS AI services with the Trellix Security Platform.
Further collaboration to harden security defenses
Trellix will offer new database, identity, analytics, and deployment capabilities for AWS customers, including:
Strengthened database protection: With databases increasingly moving to the cloud and organizations widely adopting hybrid, on-premises, and cloud environments, critical assets require robust monitoring and protection. The need to prevent potential extraction or tampering increases as organizations train AI models with proprietary datasets and users share more information with AI apps. Trellix Database Security now offers security for Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) cloud databases. New features available for AWS-supported MariaDB, MySQL, and PostgreSQL databases include real-time activity monitoring, pre-built compliance policies, and detailed event logs and incident management tools. Future releases will expand this vital support to include additional AWS Cloud databases.
Fortified identity and access management (IAM): The AWS IAM Access Analyzer now integrates with the Trellix Security Platform, making it easier to remediate identity compromise. With AWS IAM Access Analyzer, Trellix customers can evaluate permissions across multiple IAM policy types, visualize access patterns, inspect access from internal and external sources, and leverage Amazon EventBridge for custom alerts and remediation.
Simplified deployment: Trellix has achieved AWS Marketplace Architecture Excellence, certifying architectural alignment with AWS best practices. Customers now have greater transparency around each Trellix integration with AWS for easier procurement and deployment, and can further maximize their investment with AWS as purchases count toward AWS Private Pricing Agreements (PPA), helping meet committed spend thresholds faster.
'Let's face it; security is hard. Complexity makes the job even harder,' said Frank Dickson, Vice President of Security and Trust, IDC. 'When infrastructure and security collaborate to make security easier to implement and integrate, organizations can reduce risk, speed up response times, and better protect their most critical assets and data. We all win."

US tech titan earnings rise on AI as economy roils
Tech giants Amazon, Apple, Meta and Microsoft this week eclipsed earnings expectations, cashing in on artificial intelligence (AI) while navigating economic waters roiled by US tariffs. "Massive results seen by Microsoft and Meta further validate the use cases and unprecedented spending trajectory for the AI Revolution on both the enterprise and consumer fronts," Wedbush tech analyst Dan Ives said in a note to investors. "We have barely scratched the surface of this 4th Industrial Revolution now playing out around the world led by the Big Tech stalwarts such as Nvidia, Microsoft, Palantir, Meta, Alphabet, and Amazon," Ives added. Amazon reported a 35 percent jump in quarterly profits as the e-commerce giant said major investments in AI technology are paying off. "Our conviction that AI will change every customer experience is starting to play out," said Chief Executive Andy Jassy, pointing to the company's expanded Alexa+ service and new AI shopping agents. But the Seattle-based company's profit outlook for the current quarter came in lower than hoped for, with investors worried that the cost of AI was weighing on the bottom line. This was despite a stellar second quarter that exceeded analyst expectations, much like it did for its AI-focused rivals Google, Microsoft and Meta, which posted bumper results for the period. Amazon's net sales climbed 13 percent, signaling that the company was so far surviving impacts of the high-tariff trade policy under US President Donald Trump. Amazon Web Services (AWS), the company's world-leading cloud computing division, led the charge with sales jumping 17.5 percent to $30.9 billion. Its strong performance reflects surging demand for cloud infrastructure to power AI applications, a trend that has benefited major cloud providers as companies race to adopt generative AI technologies. - $4 trillion club - Shares of Microsoft spiked Thursday following blowout quarterly results, lifting the tech giant into the previously unprecedented $4 trillion club along with Nvidia, another AI standout. The landmark valuation is the latest sign of growing bullishness about an AI investment boom that market watchers believe is still in the early stages -- even as companies like Microsoft plan $100 billion or more in annual capital spending to add new capacity. "Cloud and AI is the driving force of business transformation across every industry and sector," said Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. At the heart of the results was a stunning surge in Azure, the company's cloud computing platform, which is getting "supercharged" with AI, said Angelo Zino, technology analyst at CFRA Research. Zino attributed "just about all of" Microsoft's recent climb in valuation to AI. - Superintelligence? - Meta reported robust second-quarter financial results Wednesday, with revenue jumping 22 percent year-over-year as the social media giant continues investing heavily in artificial intelligence. "We've had a strong quarter both in terms of our business and community," said CEO Mark Zuckerberg. "I'm excited to build personal superintelligence for everyone in the world." Zuckerberg has embarked on a major AI spending spree, poaching top researchers with expensive pay packages from rivals like OpenAI and Apple as he builds a team to pursue what he calls AI superintelligence. Hours before the earnings report, Zuckerberg insisted that the attainment of superintelligence -- technology that would theoretically be more powerful than the human brain -- is now "in sight." Meanwhile Apple, which is seen as lagging in the AI race, beat expectations with earnings driven by strong iPhone sales despite US tariffs costing the company $800 million in the recently-ended quarter. Apple expects Trump's tariffs to cost the iPhone maker $1.1 billion in the current quarter. "The results show that Apple's iPhone strategy is working to offset the impact of looming challenges with AI development timelines, tariff pressures, and Google's antitrust issues," said Emarketer tech analyst Jacob Bourne. Apple chief executive Tim Cook said on an earnings call that taking the most advanced technologies and making them easy to use is "at the heart of our AI strategy." Cook said Apple has been rolling out Apple Intelligence AI features and is "making good progress on a more personalized Siri." gc/aks Error in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data

Nvidia says no 'backdoors' in chips as China questions security
Nvidia chips do not contain "backdoors" allowing remote access, the US tech giant has said, after Beijing summoned company representatives to discuss "serious security issues". The California-based company is a world-leading producer of AI semiconductors, and this month became the first company to hit $4 trillion in market value. But it has become entangled in trade tensions between China and the United States, and Washington effectively restricts which chips Nvidia can export to China on national security grounds. "Cybersecurity is critically important to us. Nvidia does not have 'backdoors' in our chips that would give anyone a remote way to access or control them," Nvidia said in a statement Thursday. A key issue has been Chinese access to the "H20" -- a less powerful version of Nvidia's AI processing units that the company developed specifically for export to China. Nvidia said this month it would resume H20 sales to China after Washington pledged to remove licensing curbs that had halted exports. But the tech giant still faces obstacles -- US lawmakers have proposed plans to require Nvidia and other manufacturers of advanced AI chips to include built-in location tracking capabilities. Beijing's top internet regulator said Thursday it had summoned Nvidia representatives to discuss recently discovered "serious security issues" involving the H20. The Cyberspace Administration of China said it had asked Nvidia to "explain the security risks of vulnerabilities and backdoors in its H20 chips sold to China and submit relevant supporting materials". China is aiming to reduce reliance on foreign tech by promoting Huawei's domestically developed 910C chip as an alternative to the H20, said Jost Wubbeke of the Sinolytics consultancy. "From that perspective, the US decision to allow renewed exports of the H20 to China could be seen as counterproductive, as it might tempt Chinese hyperscalers to revert to the H20, potentially undermining momentum behind the 910C and other domestic alternatives," he said. Other hurdles to Nvidia's operations in China are the sputtering economy, beset by a years-long property sector crisis, and heightened trade headwinds under US President Donald Trump. CEO Jensen Huang said during a visit to Beijing this month that the company remained committed to serving local customers, adding that he had been assured during talks with top Chinese officials that the country was "open and stable". ll-pfc-kaf/oho/sco Error in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data

Walmart (WMT) Taps Into AI Super Agents — Analysts Say It's Leading the Pack
Walmart Inc. (NYSE:WMT) is one of the . On July 28, Morgan Stanley reiterated the stock as 'Overweight,' stating that Walmart is a 'clear leader' in retail artificial intelligence. 'AI use cases in Food Retail are accelerating, driving stronger sales growth and greater efficiencies. WMT a clear leader.' In other news, Walmart has recently unveiled plans to roll out a suite of AI-powered 'super agents' for enhancing the shopping experience for customers and streamlining operations. According to the retailer, the four agents powered by agentic AI are designed for Walmart shoppers, store employees, suppliers and sellers, and software developers. These agents will be the primary way of contact for the said groups very soon. These super agents will replace existing agents and AI tools and will be the first point of contact for every AI interaction that the groups will have with Walmart. The company is planning to leverage artificial intelligence to boost its e-commerce growth, with a goal set for online sales to account for 50% of its total sales within five years. One of the agents from Walmart, Sparky, has already been made available for shoppers on Walmart's app as a Gen-AI-powered tool, albeit not in its super-agent form yet. Walmart Inc. (NYSE:WMT) operates retail and wholesale stores and clubs, eCommerce websites, and mobile applications worldwide. While we acknowledge the potential of WMT as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.
