Trellix accelerates growth in first 100 days

Trellix, the cybersecurity company delivering the future of extended detection and response (XDR), has announced key milestones, strong financial performance across the globe, and continued momentum following the launch of the new company in January. 

“Today’s threat landscape quickly mutates and dynamically adjusts to defenses,” said Bryan Palma, CEO, Trellix. “Staying protected depends on your ability to be flexible, open, and adaptable. Trellix is powered by new investments, new leadership, and the trust of our customers to once again disrupt the market. I am proud of what this team has accomplished in our first 100 days as a company and energized by what we have planned next.”

Executive team strengthens with leadership appointments

Ashley Arbuckle has joined Trellix as senior vice president of customer success, with the goal of creating and accelerating excellent client experiences in order to achieve the best security outcomes. Prior to joining Trellix, Arbuckle worked at TPx as the company’s chief product officer (CPO), where he was in charge of product strategy and overall success. He’s worked with industry leaders including Cisco, PepsiCo, and PwC, and is known for bringing strategy to execution, creating radical change, and harnessing innovative technology to achieve customer success. Aparna Rayasam was named Trellix’s chief marketing officer (CPO) in March, and Adam Philpott, Michael Alicea, and Tara Flanagan were named chief revenue officers (CRO), CHRO, and general counsel, respectively, in February.

Trellix XDR platform continues to adapt and grow 

Trellix’s XDR ecosystem continues to expand with 16 new integrations from leading businesses such as Zscaler, Cofense, Tenable, Dell, Illumio, VMware, Fortinet, and others. In 2022, there will be 620 third-party integrations that will generate over 1 trillion events. Nearly 2,000 security rules and machine learning algorithms are assessed by Trellix’s clients’ application telemetry, which is augmented with Trellix knowledge to allow SOC analysts to focus on the most serious threats. With over 200 orchestration plug-ins and playbooks, Trellix speeds up the reaction to these alerts, allowing businesses to address situations faster.

New threat reports give in-depth look at state of cybersecurity

Trellix explored the state of cybersecurity through three recently released reports including: 

• Trellix Labs’ In the Crosshairs: Organizations and Nation-State Cyber Threat, developed in partnership with the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), examined security professionals’ mindsets towards nation-state actors, the extent to which organizations believe they are being targeted, how nation state actors differ from other cyber criminals and how organizations view the role of government in responding to nation state attacks. 
• The Cyber Readiness Report gauged technology adoption and perceptions of government cybersecurity leadership related to the U.S. Executive Order on Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity (EO 14028), revealing that the EO is playing an important role in enabling government agencies in the U.S. to implement advanced cyber defenses. EMEA and APAC were also included in the evaluation. 
• Trellix Labs’ Threat Labs Report: April 2022, examined cybercriminal behavior over the last six months. Key findings from the report concluded that individual consumers are the number one target of cybercriminals, closely followed by the healthcare sector, with transportation, shipping, manufacturing and information technology industries showing a sharp increase in threats.

Key partner wins add to product portfolio growth

Trellix’s product portfolio is being bolstered by new strategic alliances. The company expanded its Security Innovation Alliance (SIA), which includes RSA SecurID, Allied Telesis, Bullwall, Knowbe4, Entrust, SecureCo, Devo, Fluency, Votiro, and GetVisibility. In addition, EMEA partner Cyberlinx has signed a deal to offer a complete XDR architecture to one of the world’s major power utility firms.

MITRE ATT&CK results 

The company’s participation in MITRE resulted in nearly 100% visibility across all steps. These are the best visibility and detection results the company has ever achieved.
