Description

Berkeley Security Software (BSS) provides a suite of cybersecurity tools designed to protect UC Berkeley's information assets and IT infrastructure. Having the software ensures compliance with UC system-wide cybersecurity standards while reducing the time and resources needed to respond to cyberattacks. For business needs that prevent the installation of EDR, you may request an exception.

Getting Started

A single installer provides two components:

BigFix is used for asset management and vulnerability identification.
Trellix is used for Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) to enhance security incident response and containment.
