Macquarie Government and Trellix Partner to Strengthen Email & Network Security Across Australian Government
- Agencies will have simplified access (through Macquarie) to the Trellix platform, potentially speeding up deployment and reducing complexity in procurement.
- The agreement emphasises compliance and data-sovereignty: Trellix’s solutions already obtained Australian government-relevant accreditations (IRAP “Protected” level) which helps agencies procure them more easily.
- Macquarie Government brings strong local capabilities: it already serves ~42% of the Australian federal government (by headcount) and provides sovereign cloud and cyber-security services from Australian-based data centres and teams.
- The partnership points to an integrated defence posture: combining Trellix’s advanced AI/ML threat detection across email, file-sharing and network with Macquarie’s secure infrastructure and experience.
- For government agencies this means a stronger, more integrated security stack across the email attack vector, collaboration platforms and network / lateral-movement detection — rather than siloed tools.
- Although no timestamps from the actual video transcript are available, the strategic nature and public-sector focus imply the solutions will be deployed across multiple agency environments, aiming for scale and regulatory compliance.
- The announcement implies that agencies will have simplified access (through Macquarie) to the Trellix platform, potentially speeding up deployment and reducing complexity in procurement.
- The partnership reflects broader Australian government drive for “sovereign” and “protected-level” cyber capability (i.e., local data centres, Australian-cleared personnel, compliance with the Australian Signals Directorate standards).
