What is Trellix Endpoint Security (HX)?
OIT Security has deployed Trellix (formerly FireEye) Endpoint Security HX as the EDR solution for campus, also mandated for use throughout the UC system. Trellix HX is used to detect malware and/or viruses that antivirus software has difficulty locating on the endpoint, and protection against other threats and attacks on the endpoint that can’t be seen on the network. It also allows OIT Security to be able to respond and help recover affected systems more quickly when an attack occurs to prevent further spread to other systems. Trellix HX automates some time-consuming steps of incident response and helps with forensics investigations. While doing all the above, privacy and security are balanced appropriately according to UC policy of which more details can be found at UCI Trellix HX Data Privacy Summary.
Who should use Trellix HX?
Trellix HX is required for all compatible university-owned computers.
