Trellix earns top marks for Data Security in the CRN Annual Report Card. I'm excited to share that Trellix has earned a 2026 CRN(R) Annual Report Card (ARC) Award in Data Security from CRN, a brand of The Channel Company. The ARC Awards spotlight the technology vendors providing best-in-class products and solution provider partnership throughout the IT channel ecosystem. Among the IT channel's most respected honors, the CRN Annual Report Card (ARC) Awards recognize technology vendors that excel in supporting and empowering their partner communities. Award winners are chosen based on direct feedback from solution providers, who evaluate vendors on the strength of their channel programs, partner experience, product innovation, and commitment to building successful, long-term partnerships. CRN defines data security for a category as a comprehensive set of functions designed to protect sensitive information from unauthorized access, breaches, and misuse. Core functions include data encryption, controlling data access and protecting databases, and real-time DLP monitoring to detect and respond to unusual activity via responses that range from warning and coaching to blocking and reporting. Continuous data discovery and classification are also critical for managing governance requirements. "The CRN Annual Report Card Awards honor technology vendors that set the standard for channel excellence," said Jennifer Follett, VP, U.S. Content and Executive Editor, CRN, The Channel Company. "Selected based on direct feedback from solution providers, this year's winners have demonstrated exceptional commitment to innovation, partnership, and enabling partner success. We congratulate the 2026 ARC Award winners for earning the trust and recognition of the channel community through their continued leadership and dedication." Shielding sensitive data with AI-native data security. The rapid adoption of generative AI (GenAI) and large language models (LLMs) has introduced significant risks to data security, such as the potential for sensitive and private data to be leaked into public AI tools or improperly accessed. In April 2026, Trellix introduced a new AI Data Risk Dashboard within DLP to monitor and redact sensitive information, and avoid SQL injection attacks within AI prompts and responses. Trellix Data Security is vital for protecting the data that matters in the age of AI. CRN recognized Trellix as a top-tier performer in data security, specifically noting its product reliability and high-quality feature sets. Its ability to integrate AI into its response capabilities and its robust partner ecosystem make it a highly competitive option for organizations seeking modern security operations. Trellix CPO Alex Au Yeung said, "CRN's recognition of Trellix's Data Security products with the ARC Award comes at a critical point in the convergence of agentic AI and the sensitive data that it has access to. Identities accessing sensitive data - whether human, non-human or agentic - need stringent controls to ensure compliance, reduce risk, and enable business outcomes. Trellix recognized this decades ago and has continued to be at the forefront of context-rich data security offerings as part of our comprehensive cyber resilience portfolio."

Trellix recognized as a Visionary in the 2026 Gartner(R) Magic Quadrant(TM) for Network Detection and Response. Gartner recently released the 2026 Gartner(R) Magic Quadrant(TM) for Network Detection and Response (available to Gartner customers), and Trellix is thrilled to be recognized as a Visionary. Network detection and response (NDR) represents the market's evolution, as traditional approaches to network security fall short in protecting today's complex environments. Trellix is gratified to be working with its customers to meet this moment and address where the market is headed. Several trends are accelerating the shift to NDR. It's no longer enough to rely on "North-South" perimeter defense and endpoint detection and response (EDR). Doing so leaves enterprises open to sophisticated attackers who can evade both traditional network security and EDR. These attackers take advantage of infrastructure blind spots - arising from today's blurry perimeters, hybrid environments, and the convergence of operational technology systems with corporate IT. Once they're inside your network, they're free to roam East-West, living off the land while they search for your most valuable enterprise data. At the same time, SOC teams are overwhelmed by alert noise and fragmented tools that slow them down. There's a critical need for full visibility and "post-breach" detection that NDR solutions are designed to fill. But how should you evaluate your potential security partners for their ability to address these challenges? Moving from Niche to Visionary At Trellix, Trellix is honored to be recognized as Visionary after entering the inaugural MQ last year in the Niche Quadrant, one of only 11 vendors to be included. Trellix believe this shift reflects how Trellix is evolving its NDR offering to address its customers' most pressing challenges. * Comprehensive visibility across complex networks: Organizations need an NDR solution that visualizes their entire infrastructure across on-premises, cloud, and operational technology (OT) and IoT networks. Trellix NDR eliminates security blind spots by providing a unified, agentless view across complex hybrid environments, ensuring visibility where EDR cannot reach - such as OT/IoT devices, unmanaged assets, and legacy systems. * High-fidelity detection of evasive and post-breach threats: Trellix helps organizations detect "living off the land" attacks and lateral movement swiftly, using a multi-layered architecture combining signature-based detection, behavioral analytics, dynamic file analysis, and real-time intelligence. Unlike passive NDRs, Trellix NDR offers active blocking for inline prevention to identify and neutralize sophisticated post-breach activity. * Accelerated investigation and automated response: Analysts are drowning in fragmented alerts and manual investigations. Trellix help its customers reduce MTTR with intuitive, AI-guided investigative workflows, deep forensic context, and adaptive remediation. Closing the security skills gap with Trellix Wise Traditionally, managing complex NDR solutions required deeply specialized, hard-to-find security experts. Trellix changes this reality by embedding Trellix Wise, its advanced generative AI (GenAI) security capability, directly into the heart of its NDR solution. Trellix Wise acts as a force multiplier designed specifically to uplift L1 and L2 analysts. It does the heavy lifting of parsing through fragmented, highly technical alerts to automate deep attack correlation across the network, weaving disparate anomalies into comprehensive, chronological attack storylines. It guides analysts through the investigation lifecycle while offering interactive, guided threat-hunting playbooks to uncover hidden lateral movement across the environment. When a threat is verified, Trellix Wise drives seamless incident response orchestration, allowing analysts to rapidly execute containment protocols and neutralize the threat before it can cause operational damage. According to results reported by Trellix customers, Trellix Wise enables them to spend 57% less time prioritizing alerts and save an average of 48 hours per alert Trellix NDR investigates. Unifying OT, IT, and cyber-physical environments As modern cyber threats expand beyond traditional enterprise boundaries, securing cyber-physical systems (CPS) alongside OT and corporate IT has become mission-critical. This is where Trellix truly distances itself from legacy alternatives. For example, the direct integration of Trellix NDR with Nozomi Networks offers a blueprint for the future of converged security. According to Gartner: "Trellix NDR excels in convergence and accelerated incident triage, offering integration with CPS vendors for unified threat visibility across CPS and IT environments." By blending these traditionally isolated environments into a unified ecosystem, Trellix help organizations accelerate incident triage and minimize the blind spots that attackers frequently exploit. The journey forward Helping its customers adapt to the constantly evolving threat landscape with intelligence-led cyber resilience is at the core of what Trellix do. Its goal is to empower organizations with the deep visibility and automated defense required to keep pace with evolving threat cycles.
