Product rebranding changes

As Trellix continues to evolve, you will begin to see our solutions reflect our new name and brand. In this release, you will notice the following changes in the software. This rebranding change requires an effort from your end if your enterprise manages root certificate updates manually.

Brand logo and name — McAfee logo and name are replaced with Trellix logo and name.
Product name — McAfee Drive Encryption is renamed as Trellix Drive Encryption.
End-User License Agreement and Copyright — The End-User License Agreement and Copyright are updated according to legal requirements. Please read the agreement for details.

As part of rebranding, the certificates used to sign our software have been updated. If your enterprise automatically updates root certificates, the software update or installation does not require any additional effort. However, if your enterprise manages root certificate updates manually, you need to install the new intermediate and root certificates.

For information about downloading and installing the certificates, see KB91697.
