The HelixConnect Client connects your Trellix Network Security, Email Security — Server, and Endpoint Security (HX) appliances directly to the Trellix Helix cloud using a secure VPN connection. This allows Trellix Helix to collect alert artifacts from the appliances.
It also allows you to do the following from the Trellix Helix Web UI:
Configure policy and other Network Security and Email Security — Server settings in Appliance Settings pages.
Update Network Security and Email Security — Server appliances to the latest system image, guest images, and security content.
Download artifacts and modify inline policy exceptions in Network Security alert details pages.
Download artifacts and emails, and manage quarantined emails in Email Security — Server alert details pages.
Manage queued emails in Email Security — Server appliance details pages.
Contain or uncontain an Endpoint Security (HX) host, acquire artifacts (file or triage package), and download artifacts from its host details page.
Manage the propagation of intelligence feeds to eligible connected Network Security and Email Security — Server appliances.
Important
The HelixConnect Client integrates Trellix appliances with Trellix Helix. It is not related to the HelixConnect page in the Trellix Helix Web UI, which allows you to integrate cloud products with Trellix Helix.
To establish connectivity with the HelixConnect Client and enable the functionality it offers, see Enabling the HelixConnect Client.
