With additional administrative overhead per endpoint in mind, adding systems to the scope of the project and hardening them needs dedicated staff to manage the product.
This table shows the recommended staffing during the sustainment phase of the project. This staffing suggestion considers that further deployments might need additional staffing and moderate configuration changes. Major changes such as workstations might need more staffing. Minor changes such as ATM’s or manufacturing might need less staffing.
Number of endpoints | % of time dedicated | Number of staff |
|---|---|---|
Up to 1000 | 30 | 1 (2 if an alternate is needed) |
1000–5000 | 50 | 2 |
5000–10000 | 100 | 2 |
10000 and above | 100 | Minimum of 3 |
With staffing considerations in mind, Trellix recommends only protecting business critical applications such as domain controllers, high revenue generating servers, and any other critical systems defined by your organization.
