ShieldX vs Trellix Embedded Control comparison

Today’s expanding attack surface is dominated by non-traditional endpoints that range from wearable fitness devices to critical connected sensors that control generation and distribution. As the number of connected devices grows, so do the risks from malware and attacks. Trellix Embedded Control ensures the integrity of your systems by only allowing authorized access to devices and blocking unauthorized executables.

Trellix Embedded Control focuses on solving the problem of increased security risk arising from the adoption of commercial operating systems in embedded systems. Trellix Embedded Control is a small-footprint, low-overhead, application-independent solution that provides “deployand-forget” security. Trellix Embedded Control converts a system built on a commercial operating system into a “black box” so it looks like a closed proprietary operating system. It prevents any unauthorized program that is on disk or injected into memory from executing and prevents unauthorized changes to an authorized baseline. This solution enables manufacturers to enjoy the benefits of using a commercial operating system without incurring additional risk or losing control over how systems are used in the field.
