Symphony Technology Group (STG) has combined the acquired McAfee and FireEye operations into Trellix, a new business that will provide extended detection and response (XDR) services using machine learning and automation. FireEye operations were bought in June 2021 and McAfee operations in November 2021.
Symphony said the new name “evokes the structure of a trellis, a strong and safe framework used to support structured growth of climbing plants and trees.” The aim is for Trellix to deliver its brand promise through living security: security technology that learns and adapts to protect operations from the most advanced threat actors. The unit will have a combined product portfolio that spans endpoint, network, messaging, data protection, and cloud services.
STG expected to launch the McAfee Enterprise Secure Service Edge (SSE) portfolio as a separate business later this quarter, including Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), Secure Web Gateway (SWG) and Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA).
