Trellix, the new cyber security company formed from the merger of FireEye Enterprise and McAfee, hopes to democratise access to extended detection and response capabilities in Asia-Pacific (APAC) with its combined portfolio and managed services offerings.
The company is looking to team up with managed service providers that understand local markets, create bundles that deliver the right level of capability for customers and help partners develop capabilities to support organisations in smaller or less mature markets.
Craig Nielsen, Vice-President of Trellix in Asia-Pacific and Japan, said that the adoption of XDR is growing in the region – even as organisations remain plagued by challenges in rolling out XDR architectures at scale. He further said the company will build on its investments in research and development, channel partnerships, sales and customer success to grow its footprint and democratise access to XDR capabilities in APAC.
Nielsen said, “Most organisations are struggling with a fundamental area in security, which is having a majority of their systems being siloed and static, and having to work extraordinarily hard to attempt to connect these systems. That process of connecting static and siloed systems is expensive and involves big, heavy technology. It requires highly skilled teams and resources, and a lot of manual intervention to maintain that connected architecture. That’s essentially the problem we’re going after.”
