Prev Next

IPS deployment can be daunting and complex. Trellix IPS, while complex, provides great flexibility in deployment so you can start monitoring your network even while you familiarize yourself with its features and capabilities and tune your security policies.

Trellix IPS deployment can be simple or complex, depending on your needs and your skill with the product. If you are a Beginner, you can use Trellix IPS straight out of the box and get your entire deployment up and monitoring in an extremely short period of time. An Intermediate approach might be to customize your policies a bit and shift to another operating mode, such as Tap mode. An Advanced user might use all of the features available, tracking traffic at extremely granular levels, creating multiple administrative domains managed by a variety of users with various privileges, tailored policies and custom responses to detected attacks, and so on.
