Symphony Technology Group (STG), an American private equity firm based in Palo Alto, California, announced the launch of a new business, Trellix, with an aim to deliver extended detection and response (XDR) to businesses who want to enhance technology innovation with the help of automation and Machine Learning.

Trellix aims to stand by its brand promise to make organizations resilient and confident with living security—security technology that can protect operations from the most advanced threat actors.​

Trellix’s XDR ecosystem intends to accelerate the effectiveness of security operations by making customers capable enough to deploy more than six hundred native and open security technologies. By delivering better insights to security professionals, more control and a comprehensive threat context, analysts can save on time and take decisive actions to remediate threats.

STG will be launching the McAfee Enterprise Secure Service Edge (SSE) portfolio as a separate business later this quarter, inclusive of Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), Secure Web Gateway (SWG) and Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA).
