Overview

Trellix is redefining the future of cybersecurity and soulful work, empowering security operations teams worldwide with the industry’s broadest and responsibly architected AI-powered security platform. While securing customers against advanced threats is Trellix’s mission, the company has also built an extensive global security program within the company, led by CISO Harold Rivas.

Harold built the formal global security program at Trellix within nine months, launched a Security Operations Center (SOC) in Cork, Ireland, and leads 45+ team members across multiple geographic locations, focused on improving efficiencies and enhancing processes to match security trends and customer needs relating to zero trust, cloud security, identity access management, and data protection. His strategic approach to information security, incident response, and cybersecurity innovation is transforming the industry.

The Trellix SOC utilizes a unified platform to handle security operations efficiently, enhancing threat detection and staff productivity. The team has successfully developed advanced threat hunting, expanded search capabilities to look for threats more efficiently, improved dashboard visibility to track threat trends more effectively, improved dashboard widget capabilities to track and hunt threat actors more effectively, and improved log parsing and cloud connectors to support more of the core Trellix product suite.

The Trellix SOC leads Trellix’s global security and compliance initiatives, enabling the company to best protect against threats, manage compliance needs and third-party risks, and implement industry-wide best practices. The team is focused not only on Trellix’s security but also on the security of all its 50,000+ customers.

The team also remains committed to Trellix’s operational resiliency, integrating business continuity, crisis management, cybersecurity incident response, disaster recovery, emergency response, and risk management processes – all of which are designed to maintain a state of readiness to bounce back from business disruptions should they occur.
