Trellix has announced further developments in its collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS), aimed at simplifying the adoption of AI-powered cybersecurity technologies and enhancing security controls for AI deployments.This deepened collaboration focuses on integrating AI within security frameworks for operational resilience and, critically, on securing AI systems themselves to maintain data integrity, trust, and compliance.Sean Morton, Senior Vice President of Strategic Partnerships at Trellix, stated, “In the era of rapid AI expansion, the symbiotic relationship between AI and security must be addressed. Together with AWS, we are focused on not only ensuring AI is embedded in security to allow optimum resilience, but also in securing AI itself. This is essential to ensuring organizations can use AI without compromising data integrity, trust, or compliance, particularly for those in regulated sectors.”Trellix and AWS have signed an expanded strategic collaboration agreement (SCA) to enrich existing and co-develop new GenAI-powered security technologies. This initiative will address pressing security use cases by combining Amazon Bedrock and other AWS AI services with the Trellix Security Platform.As part of the expanded collaboration, Trellix will offer new database, identity, analytics, and deployment capabilities for AWS customers. These include:Strengthened Database Protection: Trellix Database Security now provides enhanced security for Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) cloud databases. This includes real-time activity monitoring, pre-built compliance policies, detailed event logs, and incident management tools for AWS-supported MariaDB, MySQL, and PostgreSQL databases. Future releases are expected to extend this support to additional AWS Cloud databases. This expansion is designed to protect critical assets as databases increasingly migrate to the cloud and organizations adopt hybrid environments, addressing the need to prevent data extraction or tampering, especially when AI models are trained with proprietary datasets.Fortified Identity and Access Management (IAM): The Trellix Security Platform now integrates with AWS IAM Access Analyzer, streamlining the remediation of identity compromises. This integration enables Trellix customers to evaluate permissions across various IAM policy types, visualize access patterns, inspect access from internal and external sources, and leverage Amazon EventBridge for custom alerts and remediation.Simplified Deployment: Trellix has achieved AWS Marketplace Architecture Excellence, signifying architectural alignment with AWS best practices. This provides customers with greater transparency regarding Trellix’s integrations with AWS, facilitating easier procurement and deployment. Purchases through AWS Marketplace can also contribute towards AWS Private Pricing Agreements (PPA), assisting customers in meeting committed spend thresholds.Frank Dickson, Vice President of Security and Trust at IDC, commented on the development: “Security is often complex. When infrastructure and security providers collaborate to simplify implementation and integration, organizations can reduce risk, accelerate response times, and better protect their most critical assets and data. This benefits all stakeholders.”Attendees of AWS re:Inforce 2025 are invited to visit Trellix at booth #1123 for more information on the collaboration.
