The software previously known as FireEye is now known as Trellix.
Trellix is an Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) system that replaced the usage of traditional anti-virus software on campus. It was required on all University computers by June 30th, 2021. Trellix/FireEye is only for University-owned computers. It runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux.
Trellix software installers can be found on Terpware.
