Trellix Helix Hyperautomation Streamlines SOC Operations
▼ Summary
– Trellix Helix now integrates with Trellix Hyperautomation, a no-code workflow builder that automates security processes.
– The integration enables SOC teams to automate investigation and response workflows, improving operational efficiency and threat response speed.
– AI is empowering cybercriminals to generate exploits and automate attacks, increasing the need for faster threat detection and response.
– Trellix Hyperautomation upskills analysts by allowing them to build automated workflows without coding experience, applicable across different tools.
– The solution accelerates vulnerability remediation through automatic deployment of patches and security policies to endpoints.
Trellix has integrated its Helix security operations platform with a new Hyperautomation feature, introducing a no-code, drag-and-drop workflow builder designed to automate critical security processes. This enhancement provides organizations with AI-driven context spanning all threat vectors and security tools, delivering greater visibility, accelerated threat response, and more efficient remediation. By combining Helix and Hyperautomation, SOC teams can now automate investigation and response workflows, significantly boosting operational efficiency for security personnel.
As threat actors increasingly adopt artificial intelligence, cybercriminals are rapidly upskilling, allowing even novice attackers to generate exploits and launch automated attacks on a large scale. Security teams face mounting pressure to shrink the time between threat detection and effective response, given the rising volume and complexity of modern attack methods. Over one-third of CISOs are now requesting increased automation capabilities to help them fulfill their responsibilities more effectively and keep pace with evolving threats.
Rohit Unnikrishnan, SVP of Product at Trellix, noted, “While AI is lowering the barriers for cybercriminals to conduct reconnaissance and attacks, it’s also improving security operations for the defenders. Trellix Helix with Hyperautomation creates automated security workflows with a true no-code workflow builder, upskilling analysts at every level and strengthening threat defense for our customers.”
Key advantages of Trellix Hyperautomation include:
Improving operational efficiency: Automating cybersecurity tasks and responses cuts down on the manual effort and time needed for threat hunting, incident response, and compliance activities.
Upskilling analysts: The no-code, application-agnostic workflows enable analysts to build and manage automated processes without requiring coding or development expertise. These workflows remain functional across different tools and vendors, providing flexibility if organizational needs change.
Accelerating vulnerability remediation: Automatic deployment of patches, software updates, and security policies to endpoints allows analysts to quickly address and mitigate vulnerabilities, minimizing potential exposure.
Alongside the Hyperautomation integration, Trellix has rolled out several improvements to the Helix analyst experience. These enhancements offer expanded visibility across an organization’s entire environment, helping security teams monitor and respond to threats with greater precision and speed.
