LONDON, Aug. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Avado, a leader in CIPD training, is excited to announce a significant expansion in its use of AI technology to revolutionise delivery for CIPD courses and support services. This strategic enhancement is driven by Avado’s dedication to making their educational materials and learner support mechanisms as engaging and as efficient as possible through technology.

According to Avado’s internal research, a survey of 987 CIPD learners found that 1 in 2 (53%) said that real-time assessment feedback would be the most useful feature in their CIPD programme. Recognising the common concern among students regarding the potential to fail assignments, Avado introduces “QuickScore,” an innovative AI tool designed to provide instant, comprehensive feedback on CIPD assignments at any hour. QuickScore is a testament to Avado’s commitment to educational excellence, offering around-the-clock support on Avado’s award-winning virtual learning platform.

QuickScore: Enhancing Learning Through Advanced AI

QuickScore dramatically simplifies the learning process by demystifying CIPD assessment criteria, making it easier for learners to understand what is expected of them. This tool provides real-time, constructive feedback, allowing students to quickly gauge if they are on the right track, enhancing their learning efficiency. QuickScore facilitates immediate personalised guidance to address learners’ queries and concerns, significantly enhancing learning outcomes. It also directs learners to essential resources within Avado’s learning hub, facilitating a deeper understanding and better preparation for assessments.

The advantages of QuickScore are multifaceted. By reducing the need for extensive research and effort, QuickScore allows learners to concentrate on understanding core concepts, thereby saving time. Learners can build confidence and reduce anxiety around assignment completion through clear navigation of the right learning materials and knowledge for the assessment.

This builds on a suite of learner tools including the multilingual virtual assistant “Ava” introduced last year. Ava, which can communicate in almost every major language, is not merely a chatbot. It is a sophisticated virtual assistant, developed with Avado’s proprietary course material and the latest in generative AI technology. Ava is uniquely tailored to support learners, being deeply integrated with Avado’s curated knowledge base, individual progress tracking for learners, and leveraging the comprehensive resources available through their extensive online library of supporting CIPD course material. Over 5,000 unique learner queries are answered by Ava every month.

In addition to Ava and QuickScore for their enrolled learners, Avado has also added new AI tools for any HR professional to use. These tools include an HR policy proofer to ensure HR policies are up-to-date with current regulations and best practices, minimising compliance risks. A job description drafter helps HR professionals craft precise and effective job descriptions to attract the right candidates. Additionally, a Skills Planner assists L&D professionals in mapping out necessary skills and learning pathways to meet organisational goals effectively.

The recent introduction of Avado’s innovative AI tools complements the company’s newly launched bootcamp, “Elevating HR with AI.” This one-day programme, aimed at Human Resources and Learning & Development professionals, is designed to navigate the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence within the HR field.

Jill Kayton, Product Director at Avado said, “Our mission at Avado is to transform learning into an empowering experience that drives real change. By integrating these advanced AI tools into our platform, we are enhancing the way professionals learn and succeed. QuickScore and our suite of AI tools for HR professionals exemplify our commitment to innovation and excellence in professional education.”

Avado encourages both current and prospective learners and HR professionals to explore these new AI capabilities and to sign up for updates on further innovations expected later this year.

This release has been updated to include new information provided by TrendAI. The complete, corrected release follows, with additional details at the end:

TrendAI™ Adopts Claude Opus 5 to Advance Vulnerability Prioritization and Virtual Patching

As a participant in Anthropic’s Cyber Verification Program, TrendAI applies frontier reasoning to convert vulnerability intelligence into faster protection across hybrid environments

DALLAS, July 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — TrendAI™, the enterprise AI security leader from Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), today announced it is adopting Claude Opus 5, Anthropic’s latest and most capable Opus model, to help security teams convert vulnerability intelligence into immediate protection, from prioritization to virtual patching. The move builds on TrendAI’s collaboration with Anthropic on Claude Opus 4.8, extending the same defensive focus to a model that delivers step-change gains in advanced reasoning, agentic workflows, and long-horizon analysis. As AI makes finding vulnerabilities easier than ever, the harder problem becomes protecting organizations faster than software can be permanently patched, and that is where TrendAI is putting Opus 5 to work.

As a participant in Anthropic’s Cyber Verification Program, which credentials organizations for the defensive use of frontier AI models, TrendAI is positioned to apply Claude Opus 5 to defensive security as access becomes available. The model is Zero Data Retention compatible, supporting TrendAI’s governance and data-protection requirements as it scales AI across security operations.

The work extends to TrendAI Threat Research, where frontier AI models are combined with our proprietary frontier intelligence engine and human expertise to generate pre-disclosure intelligence. Those insights power TrendAI Vision One™, delivering stronger detection, deeper forensic insights, and proactive protection through virtual patching.

Rachel Jin, Chief Platform and Business Officer, Head of TrendAI™:
“With Claude Opus 5, TrendAI can move from vulnerability intelligence to action faster than ever, prioritizing what matters most by exploitability and business impact. Finding the vulnerability was always the hard part. Now the challenge is protecting organizations faster than software can be permanently patched, and frontier reasoning is what changes that equation, extending all the way to virtual patching that protects customers before a vendor fix ships. This is what it means to secure the AI age, fearlessly.”

These capabilities support TrendAI Vision One™ in helping security analysts, AppSec teams, and SOC teams prioritize exposure, map attack paths, and accelerate mitigation, including virtual patching, across hybrid environments, moving vulnerability management from a static scanning process into a faster, context-aware risk mitigation workflow.

About TrendAI™
TrendAI™, the global AI security leader and enterprise business unit of Trend Micro, empowers organizations with full AI visibility and consolidated security that inspires confidence, drives innovation, and eliminates risk. Trusted by the largest enterprises and governments across 185 countries, TrendAI™ secures the entire organization, from identities, to infrastructure, to data. Global Fortune 500 companies rely on TrendAI™ to cut risk and stop threats up to three months earlier, powered by world-leading threat and attack intelligence. Through deep ecosystem partnerships with market leaders like NVIDIA, Anthropic, AWS, Google, and Microsoft, TrendAI™ empowers your organization to securely drive forward at the speed of AI. AI Fearlessly. Learn more: trendaisecurity.com

About Anthropic
