Trellix continues to expand on its Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) capabilities with the latest release of the Trellix EDR client 4.1.0 release for Linux, Windows and MAC.
Customers can now continuously trace activity from Linux systems, automatically identify potential threats, deeply investigate using our AI-guided investigations, and quickly respond to threats at scale. This new Kernel-less client extends organisation's’ visibility into their Linux environment across many Linux distributions.
After the initial release of EDR 4.1.0 we identified a potential issue of concern affecting Windows environments for which we temporarily removed the package from availability with the expectation of releasing an updated package; this package is now available. We advise all customers using EDR 4.1.0 presently to update to this package at their earliest convenience and remind any customers who may have adopted a workaround described in KB96157 to install this release where the workaround is no longer required.
Additionally, this release adds support for new Linux and Windows versions and includes new Trellix branding and certificates. For details of these new capabilities please refer to the Release Notes.
Certificate Update
IMPORTANT NOTE – ACTION MAY BE REQUIRED: This release of Trellix EDR contains new signing certificates as part of the continued Trellix rebranding efforts. These certificates are signed by new third – party root and intermediate certificate authorities. If your organisation manually manages deployment of third – party root and intermediate certificate authority certificates to your devices, you will need to deploy the appropriate third – party and intermediate certificates to your devices before using this software. Failing to do so could impact or break the functionality of this software. This is an action your organisation needs to take if you do not leverage automatic root certificate updating options like the one available for Microsoft Windows Operating Systems.
Please see KB95499 for certificate details and more information about the Trellix rebranding efforts.
