Proactive Security Reimagined: Introducing the Renewed Trellix Insights

By John Fokker, Ryan Delany · April 29, 2025

In today’s cybersecurity landscape, relying solely on reactive security measures leaves organizations perpetually chasing threats rather than preventing them. At Trellix, we believe proactive security is not only possible but essential, and it begins with the renewed and reimagined Trellix Insights.

Moving Beyond Reactive Security

Traditional security operations often find themselves caught in a reactive loop, responding to incidents only after damage has occurred. With Trellix Insights—powered by advanced Trellix Wise AI and the expertise of the Trellix Advanced Research Center—your organization gains the advantage of staying ahead proactively. By leveraging predictive analytics and tailored intelligence specific to your industry, region, and unique security posture, Trellix Insights helps your team to anticipate and prevent threats before they strike.

Understanding Security Operations: From Reactive to Proactive

To fully embrace proactive security operations, it's important to recognize the maturity stages:

SecOps 1.0 – Foundational & Discovery

This baseline phase encompasses foundational controls, such as legacy antivirus and traditional firewalls. These tools often function in isolation, lacking integration or event correlation. Incident analysis tends to be reactive and post-mortem, offering minimal preventive insight.

SecOps 2.0 – Operational & Reactive

In this phase, organizations begin correlating alerts and producing more accurate diagnoses. Incident response becomes more structured with the use of playbooks and countermeasures. Yet, the intelligence remains reactive, enriching alerts only after incidents occur, rather than anticipating threats.

SecOps 3.0 – Proactive & Adaptive

This advanced, forward-looking phase is where organizations proactively prevent threats. This approach integrates comprehensive endpoint protection, AI-driven insights, and automation to empower teams with real-time assessment capabilities, significantly reducing the risk of breaches and improving overall resilience.

• Clear threat summaries
• Detailed insights into who, what, and why
• Actionable guidance for effective responses
