Trellix CEO, Bryan Palma, explains the critical need for security that’s always learning.
As per Gartner, "XDR is an emerging technology that can offer improved threat prevention, detection and response."
Trellix announced the establishment of the Trellix Advanced Research Center to advance global threat intelligence.
Trellix Advanced Research Center analyzes threat data on ransomware, nation-states, sectors, vectors, LotL, MITRE ATT&CK techniques, and emails.

Drive Encryption GO (DEGO) 7.1.x NOTE: DEGO was formerly known as Endpoint Encryption GO (EEGO). For details of DE-supported environments, see KB79422 - Supported platforms for Drive Encryption 7.x. NOTE: DEGO is supported on all Windows operating systems where DE is listed as supported. SummaryThe DEGO tool helps customers and product engineers determine if a client has the required hardware to support installation and activation of DE.
The utility indicates the readiness of the system to install either DE or other appropriate products. It provides an indication of readiness, but not a definitive indication that no errors will occur. The utility provides some initial testing of the system to verify that it'll be ready to install and activate the product. It doesn't pick up DE error states, such as failing to activate, because no users are assigned to the system. The first release is targeted for deployment to Windows systems, and a Mac version is in development with similar functionality. The product checks for the following types of problems:
Communication
The communication of this information back to the ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) doesn't use the data channels because it's possible that one of the tests will identify the data channels aren't functioning correctly. Thus, communication uses the standard McAfee Agent functionality. Information is sent from the client to the ePO Server at every Agent-to-Server Communication Interval. This allows ePO administrators to have a continuously updated view of the information. For example, the administrator can observe when the number of systems that are ready to deploy the product increases as the number of systems with incompatible products decreases. Troubleshooting and Logging (Client/Server) Diagnostic information on the client has a similar format to the Client logging and configuration can be achieved by controlling the logging level using either the command line or the registry. Server logging is achieved by modifying an XML file. For details about how to enable debug logging for DEGO, see KB73165 - How to enable debug logging for Drive Encryption Go. ePO Reports A dashboard and a few reports are available for users to see all the information that's returned by the various systems. On the dashboard, the ePO admin can see a pie chart that shows a view of how many systems are ready, and which ones aren't ready. The admin can click on the not ready systems and drill down to view the details.
ePO Charts An additional pie chart might be available that shows which incompatible products were discovered (if any). For example, 1,000 machines are running this tool and 100 have incompatible products. The pie chart might show 75 running ePO Policies This includes a policy with a single setting, which is disabled by default. When an admin views a system from the system tree, on the system details, an extra section shows the information that was obtained for this particular system. PING test This includes an option that's available from the ePO system tree, which allows an administrator to ping a system(s) using the data channel technology to see if this data channel technology is functioning.
