Trellix

Trellix is a cybersecurity company formed in 2022 from the merger of McAfee Enterprise and FireEye, and it sells threat detection, endpoint protection, and security operations products to large organizations. For AI governance teams, it matters because security vendors like Trellix increasingly ship AI-driven detection tools and are themselves being tested for how they handle sensitive data and model outputs. Compliance leaders evaluating third-party AI security tooling should understand who these vendors are and what their AI features actually do.

The second is AI agents that expose credentials by storing them in command lines, local files, or external model contexts. The report identifies secrets management, non-human identity controls, and incident response as the enterprise gaps most at risk.
