The Manager should be registered with Trellix for receiving automatic updates regarding the signature set, callback detectors, and device software from Trellix in real-time.
At a higher level, the Manager registration with Trellix is a two-step procedure as follows:
Trellix recommends you register the product immediately after installation when the Product Registration window appears after the initial login.
Upon skipping product registration, the following functionalities will be disabled:
On-demand and scheduled download of Signature Sets in the Manager
On-demand and scheduled download of Callback Detectors in the Manager
On-demand download of device software
Creating vIPS Components and vIPS Protected Groups
On registering the Manager with Trellix, some threat and device-specific data will be sent to Trellix telemetry servers at different intervals when Telemetry is enabled. If, at any point, you want to review the telemetry data you are sending to Trellix, run the required Default - Telemetry Custom report from the Analysis → <Admin Domain Name> → Even Reporting → Custom Reports page.
Note
Telemetry is enabled in the Manager by default. You can change the telemetry configurations from the Manager → <Admin Domain Name> → Setup → Telemetry page.
