FireEye and McAfee Enterprise, the company created from the merger of security firms McAfee Enterprise and FireEye will be called Trellix with an aim to become a force in the field of extended detection and response.
The officials said that the name is a reference to a garden trellis due to the way it supports plants as they grow. Trellix's approach focuses on "living security," or the ability to create technology that learns and adapts to protect against advanced threats.
The XDR platform uses machine learning and automation to provide threat detection and response. Its technology is designed to make security operations more effective with the ability to consume more than 600 native and open security technologies.
Bryan Palma, the current CEO of the merger and Former Executive Vice President for FireEye's products business, said, “We really believe a lot of the things we’re doing are very different from what either of the companies have done in the past. We think there’s a new way to represent where we’re going as an XDR business. Trellix's XDR platform protects our customers as we bring security to life with automation, machine learning, extensible architecture, and threat intelligence.”
The San Jose, California-based business is owned by private equity firm Symphony Technology Group (STG) and was formed by combining STG’s $4 billion purchase of McAfee Enterprise with its $1.2 billion acquisition of FireEye last year.
