Study Notes

Trellix ePO Administration

A Trellix ePO administrator can use Certificate, Rule, MD5 hash, or File version when creating exclusions for Dynamic Application Containment.
To meet the VPN connector's policy, the administrator should enable the "Update now" button to ensure the user's virus scan definitions are up-to-date.

Client Interface Language

If the Client Interface Language is changed on the Trellix Endpoint Security client, the log files will not be affected.

Web Control

By default, when a user navigates to an unrated website, Trellix ENS Web Control will block the site.
Web Control displays safety ratings and reports for websites during online browsing and web searching.

Threat Intelligence

Trellix Global Threat Intelligence is a comprehensive, real-time, cloud-based threat intelligence service that enables Trellix products to protect customers against cyber threats across all vectors.
If a Trellix TIE server is unavailable, Adaptive Threat Protection can leverage Trellix Global Threat Intelligence for reputation decisions.

Endpoint Security

To prevent applications from executing software locally from the browser or email client, the administrator should implement the rule "Running files from common user folders by common programs".
If Trellix Host IPS Firewall is installed and enabled, the Endpoint Security Firewall will be disabled even if it is enabled in the Endpoint Security policy settings.

Installation and Logging

The install log files are stored in %programdata%\mcafee\datreputation\logs by default.
The administrator can find the backups of detected files in %deflogfir%\Quarantine.

Firewall Policy

In Observe Mode, the firewall policy allows communication flows to be monitored and logged without blocking them.
To dynamically create firewall rules required for the environment, the administrator should use Adaptive Mode.

Exploit Prevention

To stop malware from exploiting vulnerabilities and executing arbitrary code, the administrator should enable Exploit Prevention.
To add executables that are monitored with the Exploit Prevention engine, the administrator should add them to the Application Protection rules.

Adaptive Threat Protection

Adaptive Threat Protection allows a suspicious application to run in a container with restrictions.
Real Protect scanner sends potentially malicious code to the cloud for analysis.

Web Safety

Web Control displays a toolbar with a rating icon in the browser.
The administrator can configure Web Control to block, warn, or allow access to websites based on their rating.

Migration and Policy

Automatic Migration is recommended for networks with fewer than 250 managed systems and little customization from the default settings.
The Endpoint Migration Assistant tool can migrate dashboards, Host IPS catalog, server tasks, and deployment tasks.### Firewall Module Status
If the Firewall is still enabled by the client, there will be no change to the Firewall Module on the Status page.
If the Firewall is disabled, the Firewall module will be displayed with the status "Disabled".
If the Firewall is removed from the Trellix ENS Client, the Firewall module will be removed from the Status page.

Trusted Network in Firewall Policy

Defining a trusted network in the firewall policy results in an inbound directional allow rule for that remote network.

Endpoint Security Deployment

In a Trellix ePolicy Orchestrator - SaaS deployment, the administrator creates and sends an installation URL to users for installation on local systems.

Exploit Prevention Signatures Update

Exploit Prevention signatures are updated when the Exploit Prevention content file is updated.

Trellix Threat Intelligence Exchange (TIE) and Trellix Data Exchange Layer (DXL)

The main benefit of using TIE and DXL is that they store and pass file reputation to managed endpoints and Trellix products.
