The Trellix Application Control Options Inventory interval option must be configured to pull inventory from endpoints on a regular basis not to exceed seven days.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>When Trellix Application Control is deployed on a system, it creates a whitelist of all executable binaries and scripts present on the system. The whitelist contains all authorized files, and only files that are present in the whitelist are allowed to execute. An executable binary, script, or process that is not in the whitelist is said to be unauthorized and is prevented from running. Trellix Application Control uses a centralized repository of trusted applications and dynamic whitelisting to reduce manual maintenance effort. Running frequent Pull Inventory tasks ensures inventory information does not become stale. There must be the minimum interval between consecutive inventory pull runs (when the inventory information is fetched from the endpoints). By default, this value is seven days and is the recommended setting. Pulling at an interval of greater than seven days will allow for the inventory of endpoints to become stale.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
