Consider the following questions before you install Endpoint Security Agent (HX) software on your host endpoints.
Have you followed Trellix's recommendation that you deploy your Endpoint Security (HX) Server software before you deploy your agent software?
Have you whitelisted Endpoint Security Agent (HX) files in your third-party antivirus software packages? See Excluding agent files in Your antivirus software.
Does your enterprise want to conceal agents or agent installation from host endpoint users? See Setting up a disguised installation.
Will you install agent software manually on individual host endpoints, or use an enterprise-wide deployment software, such as BigFix or SCCM for Windows, JAMF for Mac, or placeholder for Linux?
Note
Trellix recommends that you manually install the agent software on a few host machines and test the agent software before you deploy the agent software to all your host machines.
Are you deploying agents on endpoints in a VDI environment? See Deploying agents in a VDI environment.
Where will the agent software reside on your host endpoints? See Specifying the agent installation location.
Does your enterprise use an HTTPS proxy server to allow endpoints on your network to access the Internet? See Agent HTTPS proxy support.
Will you configure the Removal Protection Password to keep your agents secure and prevent unauthorized removal of the agent software from endpoints in your enterprise? See Configuring the agent removal protection password for more information.
Do you plan to configure a Tamper Protection policy to prevent the agent software on your Windows endpoints from being stopped or started or protect the agent process from injection and inspection? See "Configuring a Tamper Protection Policy" in the Endpoint Security Agent (HX) Administration Guide for more information.
