Why We Exist

To Keep Physical AI Trustworthy in the Real World

VicOne exists to make cybersecurity an essential part of Physical AI safety assurance. As vehicles and robots become more intelligent, connected, and autonomous, we help keep their decisions and actions aligned with intent, so teams can deploy, operate, and scale with confidence.

What Makes VicOne Different

Bring Automotive-Proven Assurance to Physical AI

Automotive-proven experience protecting safety-relevant systems at the edge and fleet scale helps vehicles and robots remain secure, resilient, and reliable throughout real-world operation.

A Track Record of Seeing What Comes Next

Before cyber-physical risks became industry-wide concerns, our research was already showing how attacks could cross connected vehicles, robots, and AI systems to alter real-world outcomes.

1988

A Global Cybersecurity Foundation

Trend Micro was founded, creating the global cybersecurity, threat intelligence, and research foundation behind VicOne.

2017

Saw Mobility as a Connected System

Explored cyberattacks across connected vehicles, autonomous transportation, and smart road infrastructure before ecosystem-wide mobility risk became a mainstream concern.

2017

Proved Robot Behavior Could Be Altered

Demonstrated that cyberattacks could change an industrial robot's accuracy and physical output without modifying its program code.

2020–2021

Mapped the Connected-Car Risk Landscape

Connected emerging 5G and cloud exposure, real-world attack paths, and UN R155 threat scenarios into a broader view of automotive cybersecurity risk.
