Security News > 2022 > January > McAfee's and FireEye rename themselves ‘Trellix’

Newly combined security outfits McAfee and FireEye have revealed a new name: "Trellix".

Readers may find the name familiar, as another tech company used the same name in the 1990s and early 2000s when it offered intranet and web published tools such as Trellix Web.

A year after the Pyra Labs news, we reported that Trellix was acquired by Interland, which rated it as possessing "The best technology in terms of novice users creating professional quality websites".

Symphony Technology Group, which owns McAfee and FireEye, doesn't want you to remember that incarnation of Trellix.

Trellix has sown its website with many references to the need for security to be a living, growing, thing, and suggested its products are just the fertiliser you need to harvest a rich crop of safety and compliance.

Trellix's logo speaks for itself - which is sad because The Register loves it when Brandologists attempt to explain their typographical choices.
