Device Profiling using Trellix ePolicy Orchestrator - On-prem

Prev Next

Trellix ePolicy Orchestrator - On-prem software is a management platform that enables centralized policy management and enforcement of your security products and the systems on which they reside. However, for ePolicy Orchestrator - On-prem to function, Trellix Agent needs to be installed on the client systems. The agent facilitates enforcement between the ePolicy Orchestrator - On-prem server and each managed client system. It retrieves updates, ensures task implementation, enforces policies, and forwards events for each managed system. As a ePolicy Orchestrator - On-prem becomes a repository of information and can be used in device profiling.

Remember

This information can also be viewed directly in ePolicy Orchestrator - On-prem, even if it does not participate in device profiling.

The Manager sends a query to ePolicy Orchestrator - On-prem when seeking information about a device profile. It accepts device information from ePolicy Orchestrator - On-prem and in case of Windows platforms, always trusts information received from ePolicy Orchestrator - On-prem over others.
