Anti-Malware Engine 6900 Beta Program

Trellix Anti-Malware Engine 6900 BETA

Trellix is pleased to announce the BETA for the Anti-Malware Engine 6900. This will be a new maintenance update to the current Engine 6800\6830. 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.

New Features

Native STL implementation across all supported operating systems to achieve core modernization.
Multiple bug fixes and internal code improvements.

Release availability

The Engine 6900 will be delivered through a throttled update approach expected towards the end of Mar 2026 for all Enterprise ENS installations that receive update via V3 daily DAT updates, with no further action required.

For non-Windows platforms(Linux and Mac) and OEM customers, the new Engine will be available from the Security Updates page and SDK as an Elective update towards the end of Mar 2026.

The auto-update push to products consuming V2 DATs is expected by the end of Mar 2026.

The existing Engine 6800\6830 will be EOL soon and hence the use of this new release is recommended.
