Trellix EDR

Application Control

Trellix EDR uses application control to manage and restrict the execution of unauthorized or unknown software on endpoints. This feature enforces usage policies by allowing only approved applications to run, reducing the risk of malware execution or insider threats. It strengthens endpoint security by preventing the launch of potentially harmful or non-compliant software in critical environments.

Asset Management

Trellix EDR includes asset management capabilities to provide visibility into all connected devices, their configurations, software inventory, and usage patterns. This feature helps security teams track assets, identify unauthorized devices, and assess security posture. By maintaining an accurate endpoint inventory, organizations can enforce compliance, detect anomalies, and support incident response with reliable contextual data.

Automated Remediation

Trellix EDR features automated remediation to minimize the impact of cyber threats by initiating predefined actions once malicious behavior is detected. These actions may include terminating processes, deleting files, or restoring systems to a clean state. By automating these responses, the platform reduces manual workload, accelerates containment efforts, and ensures consistent handling of security incidents.

Behavioral Analysis

Behavioral analysis in Trellix EDR monitors user and system activities to detect deviations from normal behavior that may signal an attack. By examining patterns like unusual process execution or network activity, it can identify fileless and advanced persistent threats. This capability enhances threat detection accuracy beyond traditional signature-based methods and helps uncover complex, hidden attacks.

Device Control

Trellix EDR supports device control to manage the use of external hardware such as USB drives, printers, and other peripheral devices. It enforces security policies that restrict unauthorized device access, preventing data leakage and malware introduction. This feature is crucial for protecting sensitive data and reducing insider threats through strict control over physical endpoint interfaces.

Endpoint Intelligence

Trellix EDR offers endpoint intelligence by aggregating telemetry and contextual data from endpoints across the environment. It provides insights into system configurations, user behaviors, and threat indicators. This intelligence enables faster detection, prioritization, and investigation of threats, allowing security teams to make informed decisions based on real-time and historical data from all monitored devices.

Firewall

Trellix EDR integrates host-based firewall capabilities to monitor and control inbound and outbound traffic on endpoints. Security policies can be customized to block unauthorized connections, prevent lateral movement, and protect against network-based threats. This layer of defense ensures that only legitimate communication is permitted, enhancing overall endpoint protection in dynamic and distributed environments.

Malware Detection

Malware detection in Trellix EDR uses a blend of signature matching, heuristic analysis, and behavioral monitoring to identify known and unknown threats. It detects various forms of malware, including ransomware, trojans, and rootkits. This multi-layered detection strategy ensures endpoints are protected from both traditional and emerging threats, helping maintain system integrity and performance.

System Isolation

Trellix EDR provides system isolation capabilities that allow security teams to remotely disconnect compromised devices from the network. This containment strategy prevents threat propagation while investigations and remediation are underway. By limiting attacker access in real time, system isolation reduces potential damage and provides a safe environment for analyzing and resolving security incidents.

Web Control

Trellix EDR features web control to manage and restrict endpoint access to web content based on categories, reputation, or custom rules. It helps block malicious websites, reduce exposure to phishing, and enforce acceptable use policies. This proactive capability strengthens endpoint defenses by limiting access to high-risk web domains and reducing the attack surface.
