Endpoint SecurityePolicy Orchestrator
One console for policy, posture, and enforcement across the whole estate.
Trellix ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) is the centralised management platform the rest of the Trellix portfolio runs through — a single pane of glass for policy, compliance status, and security posture across every device. The SaaS edition removes the infrastructure entirely: zero deployment time, continuous updates, FedRAMP certified. Faltrox holds the console so your team does not have to.
Overview
What ePolicy Orchestrator is
Trellix ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) is the centralised management platform the rest of the Trellix portfolio runs through — a single pane of glass for policy, compliance status, and security posture across every device. If you run more than one Trellix product, you are running ePO. It does not detect threats itself; it is where deployment, policy enforcement, and posture reporting are consolidated.
The SaaS edition removes the infrastructure entirely: zero deployment time, continuous updates, and FedRAMP certification, with local and regional data centres for residency requirements. It co-manages the security controls built into Windows rather than replacing them, avoiding a second console and its licence. Faltrox holds the console, tunes the policy catalogue, and acts on what the Protection Workspace surfaces, so your team keeps policy intent and approvals without operating the platform.
Coverage
What it protects
The platforms, threats, and surfaces this product is built to defend.
Windows Endpoints
Deploys, monitors, and manages Trellix and native Windows security across the desktop and server estate.
Heterogeneous Devices
Shared policies span Windows and non-Windows devices for consistency across a mixed estate.
Native Windows Controls
Co-manages Windows Defender Antivirus, Exploit Guard, and Firewall alongside Trellix technology.
Security Posture
The Protection Workspace summarises risk and posture across your entire digital terrain in one view.
Policy Compliance
A single dashboard shows the compliance status of all endpoints against your policy baseline.
The Whole Estate
Instant policy push and automated remediation reach every managed endpoint from one console.
How it works
The mechanism
How the product moves from signal to protected state, step by step.
- 01
Connect
Brings together data from multiple sources — Trellix controls and native Windows controls — into one management interface.
- 02
See
The Protection Workspace prioritises risk and summarises posture across the estate in a single graphical view, with drill-down into events.
- 03
Set Policy
A comprehensive, customisable policy catalogue defines security controls, with an optional approval gate before any change goes out.
- 04
Enforce
Policies push to all endpoints instantly, and contextual routing directs alerts and responses by the type and criticality of the event.
- 05
Automate
Automated remediation triggers an action when an event occurs — from a notification to approved containment — across security and IT operations.
Capabilities
Key capabilities
Protection Workspace
Prioritises risk and summarises security posture across your entire digital terrain in one graphical view, with drill-down into specific events — replacing the report-building cycle with a live view.
Zero Deployment
The SaaS edition takes zero minutes to stand up and removes the setup and maintenance of security management infrastructure altogether.
Windows Defender Co-Management
Manages the native controls built into Microsoft Windows alongside Trellix technology, with shared policies across Windows and heterogeneous devices, avoiding a second console and its licence.
Instant Policy Enforcement
A comprehensive, customisable policy catalogue pushes to all endpoints instantly, with an optional approval gate before any new or updated policy goes out.
Contextual Routing
Directs alerts and responses based on the type and criticality of the event for your environment, policies, and tools, rather than broadcasting everything to one queue.
Automated Remediation
Triggers an action automatically when an event occurs — from a notification to approved remediation — and builds workflows between security and IT operations systems.
Predictive Threat Analysis
Surfaces proactive remediation targets and feeds critical device insight into your SIEM or SOAR, so posture data reaches the tools your analysts already live in.
Governed Access
Role-based access control, two-factor authentication, personalised dashboards per user, and local or regional data centres for residency requirements.

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 ePolicy Orchestrator 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
01Is ePO a security product or a management console?
A management console. It does not detect threats itself — it is where policy, deployment, compliance status, and posture reporting for the Trellix portfolio are centralised. If you run more than one Trellix product, you are running ePO.
02SaaS or on-premises?
SaaS removes infrastructure maintenance entirely and updates continuously. On-premises is the right call when data residency or air-gap requirements demand it. Migration between them is designed to be gradual without disrupting daily operations.
03Does it replace Windows Defender?
No — it manages it. ePO co-manages Defender Antivirus, Exploit Guard, and Firewall policy with shared policies across your Windows and non-Windows estate, so you get one console rather than two overlapping products.
04What does the FedRAMP certification mean for us?
It matters if you work with US federal agencies or contracts that inherit federal requirements. For everyone else it is a useful proxy for the platform having passed a rigorous third-party security assessment.
05If Faltrox holds the console, what do we still control?
Policy intent and approvals. We operate the console, tune the policy catalogue, and act on what the Protection Workspace surfaces; you keep role-based access to the dashboards and sign-off on policy changes through the approval workflow.
