Security OperationsEnterprise Security Manager
A SIEM built for years of events, low-and-slow hunts, and 240+ compliance frameworks.
Effective security starts with visibility across systems, networks, databases, applications, and cloud — and SIEM is the foundation of that. Trellix Enterprise Security Manager (ESM) correlates log events over multiple years with threat intelligence at scale, so you can investigate low-and-slow attacks, hunt IOCs, and meet compliance from one console. Faltrox operates it as the analytics core of your security programme.
Overview
What Enterprise Security Manager is
Trellix Enterprise Security Manager (ESM) is a SIEM built for years of events, low-and-slow hunts, and deep compliance. Effective security starts with visibility across systems, networks, databases, applications, and cloud, and SIEM is the foundation of that. ESM correlates log events over multiple years alongside STIX-based threat intelligence at scale, storing billions of events available for immediate ad-hoc query.
That depth is what suits it to investigating low-and-slow attacks, hunting IOCs, and remediating failed audits — all of which need full historical event detail. It ships hundreds of prebuilt dashboards and reports for over 240 regulations and frameworks, with Unified Compliance Framework "collect once, comply with many" mapping, and integrates with Behavioral Analytics and EDR for a closed-loop workflow from discovery to remediation. Faltrox operates it as the analytics core of your security programme.
Coverage
What it protects
The platforms, threats, and surfaces this product is built to defend.
Systems, Networks, DBs, Apps & Cloud
Collects and correlates activity across the full breadth of your infrastructure.
Multi-Year Event Data
Stores billions of events and flows, retained long-term yet available for immediate query.
Low-and-Slow Attacks
Multi-year correlation reveals the slow-moving attacks a short retention window would hide.
240+ Frameworks
Prebuilt dashboards and reports for PCI DSS, HIPAA, NERC CIP, FISMA, GLBA, SOX and more.
Threat Feeds
Ingests STIX/TAXII, Trellix GTI, and third-party feeds and correlates them against event data.
Endpoints via EDR
Closed-loop integration with Trellix EDR watches endpoints for specific IOCs and acts on them.
How it works
The mechanism
How the product moves from signal to protected state, step by step.
- 01
Collect
Ingests log events, flows, and STIX-based threat feeds from hundreds of third-party devices over a scalable data bus.
- 02
Correlate
Correlates multi-year event data in real time and historically, storing billions of events for immediate ad-hoc query.
- 03
Baseline
Calculates baseline activity for all collected data and delivers prioritised alerts to surface threats before they occur.
- 04
Enrich
Each event is enriched with threat, reputation, and identity context so triage reflects real assets and business processes.
- 05
Respond
Integration with EDR and Active Response closes the loop from discovery through containment and remediation.
Capabilities
Key capabilities
Multi-Year Event Correlation
Collects, processes, and correlates log events from multiple years alongside STIX-based threat feeds, storing billions of events and flows available for immediate ad-hoc query and long-term forensics.
Behavioural Baselining
Calculates baseline activity for all collected information and delivers prioritised alerts, aiming to surface potential threats before they occur rather than after.
Context Enrichment
Enriches each event with threat data, reputation feeds, and identity/access context, so triage reflects how events correlate to real assets, business processes, and policies.
Content Packs
Prebuilt configurations for common security use cases ship rules, alarms, views, reports, and watchlists — including triggers for behaviours warranting scrutiny or automatic remediation.
Compliance for 240+ Frameworks
Hundreds of prebuilt dashboards and reports for PCI DSS, HIPAA, NERC CIP, FISMA, GLBA, SOX and more, with Unified Compliance Framework "collect once, comply with many" mapping.
Scalable Data Bus
An open, scalable data bus built for high-volume processing prevents the collection, search, and retention compromises that jeopardise investigations when data is missing later.
UEBA Integration
Integrates with Behavioral Analytics to distil billions of events into a handful of prioritised threat leads, surfacing high-risk anomalies other tools miss.
Closed-Loop EDR Workflow
Integration with Trellix EDR and Active Response gives a closed-loop workflow from discovery to containment and remediation, with persistent collectors watching endpoints for specific IOCs.

Works with
Part of the platform
Trellix products this pairs with, and the Faltrox services that operate it.
Delivery
You buy the outcome, not the console
Managed by Faltrox
Faltrox licenses, deploys, and tunes Trellix Enterprise Security Manager for your environment, then runs it as part of a managed service, so you get the protection without staffing another security console.
FAQ
Common questions
01What makes ESM suited to low-and-slow attacks?
Its ability to store and rapidly query multiple years of event data. Investigating attacks that unfold slowly, hunting IOCs, or remediating a failed audit all require visibility into historical data with full event detail — which ESM keeps available for immediate ad-hoc queries rather than archiving out of reach.
02How much does it help with compliance?
Substantially. It ships hundreds of prebuilt dashboards and reports for over 240 regulations and frameworks, and its Unified Compliance Framework integration enables a "collect once, comply with many" approach — one set of collected events maps to many regulations, minimising audit effort.
03Can it detect threats other tools miss?
Its Behavioral Analytics (UEBA) integration distils billions of security events down to a handful of prioritised threat leads, surfacing unusual, high-risk activity that signature- and rule-based approaches often cannot identify. Baselining also flags deviations from normal behaviour.
04Does it just alert, or can it act?
It closes the loop. Integration with Trellix EDR and Active Response takes an investigation from discovery through containment and remediation, with persistent collectors continuously watching endpoints for specific IOCs and alerting when one appears.
05How is this different from Helix?
ESM is a traditional, deeply featured SIEM focused on multi-year retention, forensics, and compliance depth. Helix is the AI-driven SecOps platform focused on cross-vendor correlation and GenAI triage. Faltrox scopes which fits — some environments run ESM for compliance depth, others move to Helix for AI-led operations.
