In response to the escalating volume and sophistication of AI-powered cyber threats, Trellix has announced the integration of its Trellix Helix security platform with Trellix Hyperautomation. This integration introduces a powerful, no-code, drag-and-drop workflow builder that allows Security Operations Center (SOC) teams to automate complex investigation and response processes. By combining AI-powered context from Helix with the ease of Hyperautomation, Trellix empowers security teams to significantly reduce the time between threat detection and remediation, thereby improving operational efficiency and strengthening their overall security posture.
Trellix integrated its Helix platform with a new no-code Hyperautomation workflow builder.
The solution automates security investigation and response to counter AI-powered threats.
It aims to reduce the manual effort for SOC teams and close the window between detection and response.
Key benefits include improved operational efficiency and accelerated vulnerability remediation.
The no-code, application-agnostic design allows analysts to build workflows without programming skills.
Enhanced alert details and faster investigation pivots in Helix further speed up analyst workflows.
The adversarial use of artificial intelligence is equipping cybercriminals with dangerous new capabilities, enabling even novice actors to generate exploits and automate attacks at an unprecedented scale. This evolution demands a proportional response from defenders. Security teams are under immense pressure to shorten the exposure window between detecting a threat and containing it, with a significant number of CISOs explicitly calling for increased automation to manage their responsibilities effectively.
This new integration directly addresses the need for speed and efficiency in security operations. Trellix Helix provides the foundational AI-powered context across all threat vectors and security tools within an environment. Trellix Hyperautomation builds upon this by providing a true no-code, drag-and-drop interface that allows SOC analysts to visually construct automated workflows. This synergy creates a powerful force multiplier for security teams, enabling faster and more consistent responses to incidents.
The integration delivers tangible improvements across several critical areas of security operations, upskilling analysts and enhancing defense mechanisms.
By automating repetitive and time-consuming cybersecurity tasks, the platform drastically reduces the manual effort required for threat hunting and incident response. This automation allows skilled analysts to focus on more complex and strategic security challenges, maximizing the value of human expertise.
The no-code, application-agnostic nature of Hyperautomation is a key differentiator. It empowers analysts at all skill levels to build and deploy automated workflows without any coding or development experience. Furthermore, these workflows are designed to be portable, allowing them to be applied across other tools and vendors, future-proofing security investments.
The platform enables the automatic deployment of patches, software updates, and security policies to endpoints. This capability allows analysts to promptly address and mitigate critical vulnerabilities, significantly reducing the organization's attack surface and potential for exploitation.
Complementing the Hyperautomation launch are several enhancements to the Trellix Helix platform itself. These include more detailed and grouped alerts to help analysts prioritize critical issues, faster investigation pivots with an enhanced timeline view, and integrated, actionable threat intelligence within alerts to provide immediate context and recommendations.
“While AI is lowering the barriers for cybercriminals to conduct reconnaissance and attacks, it’s also improving security operations for the defenders,” said Rohit Unnikrishnan, Senior Vice President, Product, Trellix. The integration of Trellix Helix with Hyperautomation represents a strategic step in leveraging AI and automation for defensive purposes, equipping SOC teams with the tools needed to defend against modern threats with greater speed, intelligence, and efficiency.
