Trellix Threat Intelligence Services (MTIS) and the vulnerability assessment sources on your system generate a list of known threats. Trellix ESM uses the threat severity and the criticality of each of your assets to calculate the level of risk to your enterprise.
Asset Manager
When you add an asset to your Asset Manager, you assign a criticality level that represents how critical the asset is to your operation. For example, if you have one computer managing your enterprise setup and it doesn't have a backup, its criticality is high. If you have two computers managing your setup, each with a backup, the criticality level is considerably lower.
You can select whether to use or ignore an asset in risk calculation for your enterprise on the Edit menu of the Asset tab.
Threat Management
The Threat Management tab on the Asset Manager shows a list of known threats, their severity, the vendor, and whether they are used when calculating risk. You can enable or disable specific threats so that they are or are not used to calculate risk. You can also view the details for the threats on the list. These details include recommendations for dealing with the threat and countermeasures you can use.
Predefined views
Predefined views summarize and display asset, threat, and risk data:
Asset threat summary — Displays the top assets by risk score and threat levels, and threat levels by risk.
Recent threat summary — Displays recent threats by vendor, risk, asset, and available protection products.
Vulnerability summary — Displays vulnerabilities by threats and assets.
Custom views
Use the Query Wizard to set up custom views that display the data you need.
On the Dial Control and Count components, you can display the average enterprise risk score and the total enterprise risk score.
On the Pie Chart, Bar Chart, and List components, you can display the assets at risk, product threat protection, threat by asset, threat by risk, and threat by vendor.
On the Table component, you can display assets, most recent threats, top assets by risk score, and top threats by risk score.
