About Trellix

Trellix sells the Trellix Security Platform, an AI-powered platform powered by Trellix Wise. Trellix Wise for Private Cloud runs entirely on customer hardware or in the customer VPC, with no need to connect to the public cloud. Trellix describes integrated security controls across endpoint, network, data, email and third parties that correlate signals and data access across an environment to detect and respond to threats. Trellix intelligence connects signals and contextualizes data across security controls to anticipate, prepare for and prevent attacks. Trellix unifies protection across on-premises, air-gapped, cloud and operational technology environments for organizations at all stages of maturity.^[1][6][7]

Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) provides multi-layered endpoint protection across on-prem, cloud and disconnected environments in a single agent, managed from a single source. Trellix Agent provides EPP, EDR, Device Control and Forensics, and deploys, uninstalls, upgrades and patches as one agent. Trellix Endpoint Security threat protection uses advanced machine learning, exploit prevention and heuristics. Endpoint hardening uses device control, application control, allow and deny lists, and host firewall capabilities to reduce the attack surface. ePolicy Orchestrator offers a single console to manage deployment, installation, security policies, event monitoring and response, and compliance. ePO is FedRAMP certified. Trellix ePolicy Orchestrator lets customers roll back updates if needed.^[8]

Healthcare systems and manufacturing with shared workstations and laptops are a common use case for multi-user environments, where different users authenticate on the same device.^[11]

Trellix Threat Intelligence Exchange combines internal and external threat data and shares it across the security ecosystem. Trellix Threat Intelligence Exchange (TIE) alerts the network administrator of an unknown file in the environment. Decisions about never-before-seen files draw on endpoint context (file, process and environmental attributes) combined with collective threat intelligence. Intelligence as a Service (INTaaS) provides organizations with on-demand access to actionable threat intelligence, analysis and insights tailored to their specific intelligence needs. Trellix Private Global Threat Intelligence (pGTI) is a private-cloud reputation service delivering real-time File/IP/URL/certificates threat data. Trellix Private Global Threat Intelligence consolidates third-party feeds, supports custom reputations and integrates with REST APIs. ATLAS is an analytic platform that uses machine learning technologies to query detections and correlate threat campaign data, giving customers access to detection information from the Trellix global sensor network.^[12]
