Trellix, a leader in AI-powered cybersecurity, has announced that its Trellix Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Endpoint Complete solution now supports ARM-compatible devices running Windows-based operating systems. This update extends the platform’s full capabilities to devices powered by Snapdragon chipsets, which are widely used in laptops, PCs, and servers.
“Our customers are increasingly requesting support for ARM-based devices in their environments, and historically, few security vendors are delivering here,” said Ted Wilson, Senior Director, Product Management, Data Security, Trellix. “Ensuring organizations can protect their data comprehensively across all of their endpoints is a top priority for Trellix, and we’ll continue to expand our security controls to support ARM-compatible processing.”
With this enhancement, Trellix DLP Endpoint Complete offers comprehensive protection against data exfiltration from both accidental and intentional data loss. The solution ensures compliance, streamlines remediation, and prevents unauthorized devices from installing software on endpoints. Customers can now enjoy these protections across both x64 and ARM-compatible devices through a unified deployment process.
Key features include:
-
Single Installer: One package supports both ARM and x64 architectures, simplifying deployment across diverse device environments.
-
Streamlined Deployment: The correct processor-specific software version is automatically delivered to endpoints, saving time and resources.
-
Full Feature Set: ARM-based devices now gain access to advanced capabilities, including Optical Character Recognition (OCR), enhanced visual labeling, and expanded removable storage rules with UAS drive support.
Trellix has been an early mover in ARM-compatible endpoint protection, with existing customers using Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) and Trellix Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) already benefiting from this seamless security coverage.

The adoption of ARM-compatible chipsets is rising due to their energy efficiency and performance benefits, offering extended battery life, reduced power consumption, and a smaller attack surface. Snapdragon processors, based on RISC architecture, also deliver faster processing speeds, enhancing productivity and security.
“As compute needs grow, there is tremendous business and environmental value in decreasing energy consumption without negative impact to performance or scalability,” said Rami Husseini, Director, Product Management at Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. “We’ve seen a need for data protection to be available at the endpoint within systems powered by Snapdragon processors. Our collaboration with Trellix to enable Snapdragon support will provide new value for our users and strengthen the offering that Trellix DLP provides to their customers.”
Qualcomm Technologies, a major producer of ARM-compatible chipsets, powers some of the most widely adopted endpoint devices, including Microsoft Surface laptops. Trellix worked closely with Qualcomm and engaged customers using Snapdragon-powered devices during the development and preview phases, ensuring smooth integration and alignment with customer needs.
