New features and changes
This release includes support for the following enhancements and changes:
The ability to migrate endpoints from ePO - On-prem to ePO - SaaS — Trellix FRP now supports migration of endpoints that use Trellix FRP only for Removable Media offsite encryption with password or certificate based authentication.
Reporting of ePO - SaaS eligibility — It provides business continuity by migrating only endpoints that support SaaS features. The ePO - SaaS Migration wizard automatically filters ineligible endpoints and provides proactive reports on those requiring pre-migration actions. For details on client-reported property values, see 000014667.
FRP-managed endpoint migration to ePO - SaaS — FRP supports client migration to ePO - SaaS using the ePO - SaaS Migration wizard.
Bulk migration of Removable Media (RM) recovery data from ePO - On-prem to ePO - SaaS — Ensure all RM recovery data from one or more ePO - On-prem servers is available in ePO - SaaS. This enables SaaS helpdesk operators to recover RM devices initialized from managed FRP endpoints. Schedule a Server Task to continually migrate the device events. The task migrates only unmigrated recovery data.
Migrate Removable Media (RM) device events to ePO - SaaS — Ensure the last 100 days of RM device events are available in ePO - SaaS for compliance reporting. Only events from systems already migrated to ePO - SaaS are migrated. After migration, access device events using the RM device events query in ePO - SaaS. Schedule a Server Task to continually migrate the device events. The task migrates only unmigrated device events.
Note
You can migrate Trellix FRP from ePO - On-prem to ePO - SaaS, including RM recovery data and device events, once Trellix FRP - SaaS 5.5.0 is released.
Hardware Stack Protection (HSP) support — HSP provides enhanced security against control-flow hijacking attacks. HSP is supported on Intel 11th Gen (Tiger Lake) and AMD Zen 3 or newer platforms in combination with 64-bit FRP user-mode executables and kernel-mode drivers.
Trellix is working toward feature parity with the on-premises Trellix FRP product. To know more, see article KB96480.
