Trellix

Vendor & Platform Overview

Trellix was formed through the merger of cybersecurity giants McAfee Enterprise and FireEye, creating one of the industry's largest dedicated detection and response ecosystems. Combining FireEye's frontline threat intelligence and mandate forensic capabilities with McAfee's vast endpoint install base, Trellix delivers integrated XDR protection across endpoints, networks, emails, and cloud environments.

Architecture & Detection Telemetry

Trellix's architecture unites endpoint sensors with network and email detection appliances via the Trellix XDR engine. It employs multi-vector correlation, pairing behavioral heuristics on the host with Multi-Vector Virtual Execution (MVX) network detonation engines that inspect suspicious attachments and URLs in real time. The platform continuously ingests threat intelligence from Trellix Advanced Research Center (ARC).
