It’s all in the name. For new cybersecurity company Trellix, the moniker evokes the structure of a trellis, a strong and safe framework used to support the growth of climbing plants and trees. Trellix’s framework rests on the merger of McAfee Enterprise and FireEye to form the new firm. The two companies were each sliding into industry irrelevancy and whether they can reinvent themselves is in question, one analyst told us. However, a fresh start could be the beginning of a healthy foundation.

Trellix CEO Bryan Palma made the week for his confidence in the new firm and its products.

“As today’s organizations push to achieve digital transformation, a strong security foundation is required to ensure continued innovation, growth and resiliency,” Palma said. “Trellix’s XDR platform protects our customers as we bring security to life with automation, machine learning (ML), extensible architecture, and threat intelligence.”
