U.S. Navy Chooses Trellix to Protect Navy Enterprise Grid from Stealth Cyber Threats

Trellix accelerates Navy NDR adoption with AI-powered intrusion prevention

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Trellix, the company delivering cybersecurity’s broadest AI-powered platform, today announced the U.S. Navy has procured Trellix Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) to modernize security across the Navy Enterprise Grid. Trellix IPS is a key element in a larger Network Detect and Response (NDR) solution that helps large organizations focus on sophisticated attack campaigns, contain intrusions with speed and intelligence, and eliminate cybersecurity weak points.

“Defense organizations depend on robust cybersecurity to counter covert threats from nation-states and malicious actors aiming to infiltrate networks for activities like espionage,” said Gareth Maclachlan, Chief Product Officer, Trellix. “As the Navy moves toward full adoption of NDR, network defense mainstays like IPS are critical for both establishing baseline network behavior patterns and advantage of response capabilities to remediate the threat of suspicious network traffic. With Trellix IPS, they have a next-generation intrusion detection and prevention system that discovers and blocks sophisticated threats across the network.”

Building on a decades-long relationship between the organizations, the Navy is transitioning to the latest Trellix IPS technology for the following benefits:

• Superior detection: Offers advanced detection and emulation techniques, moving beyond traditional pattern matching to defend against stealthy attacks with a high degree of accuracy. Trellix IPS provides protection against zero-day, DoS/DDoS, encrypted and SYN flood attacks, and real-time prevention of threats like spyware, malware, VoIP vulnerabilities, phishing, botnets, network worms, Trojans, and peer-to-peer applications.
• Seamless protection: Scalable architecture designed for hybrid networks from on-premise, virtual, to cloud environments. With the ability to protect both physical and virtual environments, Trellix IPS is well-suited to accommodate the future migration of Navy assets to the cloud, while also adapting to the constantly changing nature of the threat landscape.
• Simplified management: Provides coordinated detection and inline response across the entire environment, providing a more streamlined operation and potentially lower total cost of ownership.

Further deepening the relationship between Trellix and the Navy, Trellix IPS is the first enterprise technology solution to operate under the Government Owned, Government Operated, Contractor Supported (GoGoCS) model designed to modernize legacy infrastructure while also improving efficiency and cost effectiveness.
