Latest GigaOm Radar cites what sets Trellix apart from the competition

There is no shortage of opinions when it comes to XDR. What it is, what to look for and who offers a solution that can deliver results. That’s why it can be so helpful when unbiased industry experts review and make recommendations.

Recently, GigaOm named Trellix a Leader, and a Fast Mover in their 2024 GigaOm Radar Report for XDR.

Trellix is named a leader based on GigaOm’s view of the strengths of our XDR platform and our XDR engine, Helix Connect. In addition to market presence and leadership, the report cites a few areas in particular that were the basis of our placement in the Leaders section:

1. “Exceptional” EDR capabilities
   Good XDR platforms are built on strong endpoint and EDR solutions. Many industry experts consider these foundational to XDR as native or integrated third-party capabilities. GigaOm considers Trellix a top 3 vendor citing our EDR and “top-tier endpoint protection”. GigaOm’s recognition of our native endpoint and EDR capabilities means that our platform is a great path for those looking to consolidate and simplify their vendor footprint while implementing XDR.
2. Depth of Coverage
   The report mentions our strengths in “handling multi-vector, multi-vendor detection,” which is a key outcome of XDR. If you’re like most security organizations that is significant as most have collections of tools ranging from 40 to 60 or more across multiple vendors. Detection in today’s threat landscape isn’t just about seeing across threat vectors, you need to see across vectors from multiple vendors. Without this, you remain in a world of data silos, unable to get the most value from your existing investments. And you can’t have that without a “cohesive ecosystem offering numerous integrations,” which is another Trellix strength cited by GigaOm. You also can’t detect threat actors that are increasingly working to evade detection by point tools. You need analytics that can tell you the full story of a threat. That’s why Trellix doesn’t just analyze data from your tools, we use multiple threat intelligence sources and insights from our research team to uncover the latest tactics. Keeping up with the changing threat landscape is essential and as the report notes, our capabilities are able to provide “advantages for organizations looking for a comprehensive cybersecurity solution that can adapt to a variety of threats and technologies.”
3. Maturity and Expertise
   Investing in XDR requires a good long look at which vendors are established security experts and who is innovating to stay ahead of the curve. The threat landscape is always changing after all, and you don’t want to get left behind by an investment in a vendor that isn’t keeping up with attackers. In the report, GigaOm recognizes our “established presence and depth of cybersecurity expertise, “ while also noting that our “Fast Mover status highlights the company’s speed in adapting and extending its capabilities to meet emerging security needs and integration requirements.” This speed in meeting changing market demands while being a stronger, future-proof platform can be seen by our latest innovation, Trellix Wise which brings GenAI to our XDR platform. It triages 100% of level 1 alerts in under 3 minutes and provides 40 times faster detection. We are also committed to being an open platform so we are constantly increasing the number of integrations we offer to connect even more of your tools. With as much as 3 times the number of integrations offered by competing XDR solution providers, Trellix is better positioned to meet you where you are today and support you in the future. Perhaps that’s why the report mentioned our integrations as “setting Trellix apart from the competition.”

Those are just a few of the highlights from the report. We know one report alone isn’t enough to convince XDR buyers to consider our platform, that’s why we maintain a list of reports and awards for you to consider.
