Trellix IPS (formerly McAfee IPS)

Trellix (the massive new cybersecurity giant formed by the merger of McAfee Enterprise and FireEye) inherited the legendary "McAfee Network Security Platform (NSP)," which is a deeply entrenched, highly robust enterprise IPS. While Snort and Suricata are open-source software engines, Trellix IPS is renowned as a massive, turn-key hardware and software appliance deployed in the data centers of global conglomerates. The absolute core superpower of Trellix IPS is its "Signature-less Analysis and Deep FireEye Integration." Legacy IPS only blocked attacks it had seen before (signatures). Trellix incorporates advanced behavioral analysis and elite threat intelligence from FireEye (the legendary incident response firm). If it sees network traffic acting 'weird'—even if it has no signature—it can block it. Because it is highly scalable, incredibly reliable, and forms a critical piece of the massive Trellix XDR (Extended Detection and Response) ecosystem, it remains an absolute staple for massive traditional enterprises, global banks, and government agencies demanding a highly managed, turnkey security appliance.
