Trellix was born in 2022 from the merger of McAfee Enterprise and FireEye Products, creating one of the largest pure-play cybersecurity companies in the world. The combined entity brought together McAfee’s endpoint and network security legacy with FireEye’s detection and response expertise.
The Trellix XDR platform correlates signals across endpoints, email, network, cloud, and data security. Its living security approach uses machine learning that continuously adapts to new threats, learning from over 1 billion sensors and feeds from Trellix’s Advanced Research Center.
The product portfolio covers endpoint security (ENS), network detection (NX), email security, data loss prevention, and SIEM/SOAR through Helix. The platform’s open architecture integrates with over 650 third-party tools, avoiding vendor lock-in and fitting into existing security stacks.
Trellix’s Advanced Research Center publishes regular threat intelligence on ransomware campaigns, APT groups, and emerging attack techniques. The team identified the CVE-2023-36884 Windows vulnerability exploited by Russian threat actors and has contributed to numerous high-profile incident investigations. With over 40,000 enterprise customers, Trellix is a heavyweight in the extended detection and response space.
