Endpoint Security (HX) xAgent and ELAM compatibility

To register with the Windows Security Center (WSC) as a supported anti-malware product, third-party anti-malware products running on Windows 10 Redstone 5 or later must be Microsoft ELAM (Early Launch AntiMalware) compatible. Trellix Endpoint Security (HX) xAgent version 29.7.8 and later meets this compatibility requirement.

When you install the Endpoint Security (HX) xAgent version 29.7.8 or later on your Windows endpoint running Windows 10 Redstone 5 or later, the ELAM driver is also installed on your Windows host. The ELAM driver stores certificate information that allows the agent to launch and run on your Windows endpoint as a protected service.
