Endpoint and network data loss prevention suite descended from McAfee DLP, now under Trellix.
Technical Architecture & Overview
Trellix DLP provides endpoint, network, and Discover-based data protection, with policies that classify and control removable storage, printing, cloud uploads, and email. The product inherits the McAfee DLP lineage and integrates with the wider Trellix platform for threat detection. Documentation tracks a current 11.14.x release line.
Targeted Technical Use Cases
Organizations standardizing on Trellix endpoint security that want DLP from the same agent and console.
Evaluation & Trade-offs
Core Strengths
- +Shared agent and console with Trellix endpoint products.
- +Mature classification and device control features.
- +Discovery scans extend DLP to data at rest.
Trade-Offs & Limitations
