Armor Agent vs. Trellix Network Detection and Response (NDR)

Armor Agent protects Windows and Linux servers wherever they run, in public cloud, private cloud, or on-premises environments, with a single, lightweight agent that installs with one line of code. The agent combines malware protection, intrusion prevention (IDS/IPS), file integrity monitoring, vulnerability scanning, patch monitoring, and behavioral threat detection into one deployment. Rather than stitching together multiple point tools, Armor Agent consolidates core workload security into a unified agent managed through the Armor platform. Armor Agent is available in two tiers.

Trellix Network Detection and Response (NDR) converts passive network monitoring into proactive defense. It inspects all hybrid cloud traffic—north-south and east-west—to eliminate blind spots, uncover unmanaged devices, and detect lateral threat movement. Central to its capability is Trellix Wise, a built-in generative AI engine that automates complex forensics, triage, and threat investigations. Wise leverages specialized AI agents to turn cryptic telemetry into plain-language narratives, draft automated remediation steps, and prioritize high-fidelity alerts.
