Windows-based computers can be protected with either Trellix Device Control or Trellix DLP Endpoint for Windows. The Trellix DLP Endpoint for Windows client software uses advanced discovery technology, text pattern recognition, and predefined dictionaries. It identifies sensitive content, and incorporates device management and encryption for added layers of control.
Information Rights Management (IRM) protects sensitive files using encryption and management of access permissions. Trellix DLP Endpoint for Windows supports Microsoft Rights Management Service (RMS) on-premise, Azure RMS, and Seclore FileSecure as complementary methods of data protection. A typical use is to prevent copying files that are not IRM protected.
Classification software makes sure that emails and other files are consistently classified and protectively labeled. Trellix DLP Endpoint for Windows integrates with Titus Message Classification and Boldon James Email Classifier for Microsoft Outlook to create email protection rules based on the applied classifications. It integrates with other Titus classification clients through the Titus SDK to create other protection rules based on the applied classifications.
Job Access With Sound (JAWS), the widely used screen reader software for the visually impaired, is supported on Windows endpoints.
Multiple user sessions
The Trellix DLP Endpoint for Windows client software supports Fast User Switching (FUS) with multiple user sessions on those versions of the Windows operating system that support FUS. Virtual desktop support can also lead to multiple users sessions on a single host computer.
Endpoint console
The endpoint console was designed to share information with the user and to facilitate self-remediation of problems. It is configured on the Windows Client Configuration → User Interface Service tab.
The console is activated from the icon in the notification area by selecting Manage Features → DLP Endpoint Console. It can also be activated by double-clicking DlpConsoleRunner.exe in the C:\Program Files\McAfee\DLP\Agent\Tools\ folder. Fully configured, it has four tabbed pages:
