Trellix FRP encrypts files and folders stored or shared on PCs, Macs, file servers, email attachments, removable media, VDI workstations, and on cloud storage. Trellix FRP policies are enforced by the administrator using the ePO - On-prem server.
The ePO - On-prem administrator configures Trellix FRP policies and keys, and runs Trellix FRP queries and reports.
The ePO - On-prem administrator installs the Trellix FRP extension on the ePO - On-prem server. The Trellix FRP software is checked in to ePO - On-prem and the Trellix FRP packages are deployed to the endpoints. Policies are assigned to the endpoints. Encryption keys are assigned according to policy, based on the configured authentication mechanism.
As needed, the encryption keys are delivered to the endpoints.
If endpoint users are correctly authenticated according to the configured authentication mechanism, the assigned keys are provided to unlock encrypted files or folders. Similarly, if the authenticated system user attempts to save a file or folder to removable media, the encryption keys are used to lock the files or folders on the removable media.
