Trellix Unveils Advanced Solution for Ransomware

Trellix, a leading cybersecurity firm pioneering the future of Extended Detection and Response (XDR), has introduced the Trellix XDR Platform for Ransomware Detection and Response (RDR), now available globally. This platform offers comprehensive visibility throughout an organization’s entire security landscape, providing crucial coverage for every phase of a ransomware campaign. By leveraging AI-guided capabilities, the solution enhances efficiencies within Security Operations Centers (SOCs) and fortifies operational resilience for clients, thereby reducing the time required to detect, investigate, and remediate ransomware threats.

Despite ongoing efforts, ransomware continues to be the most prevalent form of cyberattack on a global scale. In the face of increasingly sophisticated and targeted socially engineered campaigns like phishing, identifying and thwarting such attacks becomes progressively challenging for both victims and security tools. Trellix addresses this challenge by delivering a holistic and open defense strategy against ransomware attacks at every stage, offering an integrated perspective of the threat within the Trellix XDR Platform.

John Morgan, XDR General Manager at Trellix, emphasized the pervasive nature of ransomware and its potential operational impact on businesses. He highlighted the need for complete visibility and control throughout the entire ransomware campaign, with Trellix providing essential coverage at each stage. The AI-powered Trellix XDR Platform combines industry-leading security controls, threat intelligence, and services to protect customers from advanced threats.

Additionally, the Trellix Advanced Research Center has identified a surge in Golang-based malware, indicating a faster pace of ransomware attacks capable of encrypting larger volumes of data. The Trellix XDR Platform for RDR distinguishes itself as the sole solution on the market that delivers a comprehensive set of security controls covering XDR, endpoint, email, network, cloud, and data security. This all-encompassing approach reduces risk and mitigates impact, offering benefits such as:

• Strengthened Security Posture: The Trellix XDR Platform, powered by AI and featuring over 1000 integrations, provides comprehensive and integrated security. Multi-vector, multi-vendor detections expedite response times, with threat intelligence from a vast network of Trellix customers, third parties, and diverse data sources for contextualizing and prioritizing threats.
• Empowered Talent: Trellix Professional Services augment security teams, proactively fortifying defenses through services like threat hunting, deployment quick start, and Intelligence as a Service.
• Reduced Costs: The platform’s decreased time to detect, investigate, and respond to threats translates into cost savings within the Security Operations Center (SOC). Vendor consolidation further reduces operational and technical expenses across the organization.
