Comprehensive protection and seamless integration elevate security experience
A positive aspect of Trellix MOVE AntiVirus is that our biggest feature prevents users from installing USB drives. We don't have the issue of distributing viruses or transfer of files. They always track harmful files before they can enter the computer system. It protects against unnecessary use of external storage devices. It also gives protection to all the systems, on-premise or out of the premises, online, including the server. The server sends periodic updates to all the systems connected to it. We have administrative overhead as we have centralized management for Trellix MOVE AntiVirus. We can monitor all our computers that are currently using Trellix MOVE AntiVirus. We can monitor all their vital points. If they are online, offline, if they are being attacked by any viruses, anything that we need to take action upon, it will be on our centralized overview application.
