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

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.

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.
