Introducing ÆSIR: Finding Zero-Day Vulnerabilities at the Speed of AI
TrendAI™ has launched ÆSIR, an AI-empowered security research platform that combines advanced automation with human expertise to proactively identify and remediate zero-day vulnerabilities in foundational AI infrastructure. Since mid-2025, ÆSIR has uncovered 21 critical CVEs across industry-leading platforms including NVIDIA, Tencent, MLflow, and MCP tooling, which underscores ÆSIR’s ability to operate at the scale and speed required to protect the rapidly evolving AI ecosystem.
The platform leverages two core components: MIMIR for real-time threat intelligence and FENRIR for zero-day vulnerability discovery. Together, these enable TrendAI to scan massive codebases in hours, prioritize the highest-impact vulnerabilities, and ensure robust, continuous protection for customers. Powered by ÆSIR, TrendAI’s responsible disclosure process sees to it that all vulnerabilities are not only reported but also fully remediated, including patch bypass verification, to further strengthen customers’ defenses.
ÆSIR closes the gap between the speed of AI development and the pace of security research: By combining machine-speed automation with our researchers’ expert oversight, it helps TrendAI experts deliver rapid, high-quality vulnerability discovery and lifecycle management for critical AI infrastructure.
Every step involves human direction of ÆSIR’s AI resources: While AI agents accelerate codebase analysis, human experts direct research, validate ÆSIR findings, and manage disclosure of discovered vulnerabilities: Researchers investigate issues flagged by ÆSIR, assess their real-world impact, and drive responsible vendor coordination. This way, patch effectiveness is verified by both AI and human analysis to ensure full remediation and identify any bypasses.
TrendAI™ unveils ÆSIR
“AI factories will be the critical infrastructure of the 21st century.” – Jensen Huang, CES 2025
To secure the future, TrendAI unveils ÆSIR (AI-Enhanced Security Intelligence & Research): It supercharges TrendAI analysts, researchers, and threat researchers with AI agents that operate at machine speed – scanning codebases in hours instead of weeks, correlating threat intelligence across thousands of sources, and surfacing the highest-priority targets for human and agentic investigation, all while creating protections for TrendAI customers.
ÆSIR is our answer to questions every security professional should be asking:
- Who secures the AI that will power the next generation of compute?
- What is the future of AI and humans in vulnerability research?
The answer involves AI itself, but not the way you might think.
