Security Content

Status of the security content in the environment.

Here's how the compliance status is calculated for these items:

Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) AMCore — Number of systems with AMCore content compliant or noncompliant.

  • Compliant — The AMCore content creation date is less than 7 days old.

  • Non-Compliant — The AMCore content creation date is more than 7 days old.

Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) Exploit Prevention — Number of systems with Exploit Prevention content compliant or noncompliant.

  • Compliant — Enabled state in policy matches the enabled state on client system.

  • Non-Compliant — Enabled state in policy doesn't match the enabled state on client system.

Trellix DAT — An endpoint is considered compliant if the DAT Date is within 7 days from today. For example, if today is July 19, endpoints with a DAT date of July 13 or later are compliant.

Microsoft Windows Defender — An endpoint is considered compliant if the Anti-Virus Signature Last Updated date is within 7 days from today. For example, if today is July 19, endpoints with a DAT date of July 13 or later are compliant.

For Trellix DAT and Microsoft Windows Defender, the endpoint reports the date, which can be viewed on the Products tab of the System Information page.

Software Status

Status of the individual products deployed in the environment. For example, Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS), Trellix Agent, and Trellix Endpoint. The devices are color-coded to indicate the health of the security status (health) of the device.

Device Management

Check-in Failure indicates the number of devices that haven't checked in to the ePO - On-prem server for more than 15 days.

Managed Devices without Protection indicates the number of devices that don't have these antimalware products installed: Trellix Endpoint.

Managed Devices indicates the total number of managed devices over the past 7 days.
