Trellix Anti-Malware Engine 6720 BETA

Trellix is pleased to announce the BETA for the Anti-Malware Engine 6720. This will be a new maintenance update to the current Engine 6710. The Trellix Anti-Malware Engine is the core component at the heart of the award-winning Trellix Endpoint and Gateway products. Using patented technology, the Engine analyzes potentially malicious code to detect and block Trojans, viruses, worms, adware, spyware, and other threats.

We encourage you to actively participate in this Beta program and provide us your valuable feedback.
