Pull the Trellix content from the public Trellix servers. This pull task keeps your protection signatures up to date.
You must schedule your pull tasks to run at least once a day after 3 p.m. Eastern Time (19:00 UTC or GMT). In the following example, the pull is scheduled for twice daily, and if there is a network problem at 5 p.m., the task occurs again at 6 p.m.. Some users like to pull their updates more frequently, as often as every 15 minutes. Pulling DATs frequently is aggressive and unnecessary because DAT files are typically released only once a day. Pulling two or three times a day is adequate.
Note
Testing your DAT files before deployment requires a predictable pull schedule.

Tip
Best practice: When you create a pull task for content, select only the packages that apply to your environment instead of selecting All packages. This keeps the size of your Main Repository manageable. It also reduces the bandwidth used during the pull from the Trellix website and during replication to your distributed repositories.
