About Trellix Intrusion Prevention System Central Manager

Prev Next

Trellix IPS provides a centralized, "manager of managers" capability, named Trellix Intrusion Prevention System Central Manager.

Trellix Intrusion Prevention System Central Manager (Central Manager) allows users to create a management hierarchy that centralizes policy creation, management, and distribution across multiple Trellix IPS Manager. For example, a policy can be created in a Trellix IPS Central Manager and synchronized across all Managers added to that Central Manager. This avoids manual customization of policy at every Manager.

The Central Manager provides you with a single sign-on mechanism to manage the authentication of global users across all Managers. Sensor configuration and threat analysis tasks are performed at the Manager level.
