Please note that the University of California Office of the President (UCOP) is transitioning its centrally provided endpoint security solution from Trellix HX to CrowdStrike Falcon. As part of this UCOP-directed change, UCLA is deploying CrowdStrike across campus through spring 2027, with Trellix scheduled for retirement by May 31, 2027.

Trellix should no longer be installed on new devices. If you currently have Trellix installed, please follow guidance from your local IT team before making any changes. For information about the transition, deployment timelines, and installation guidance, visit the CrowdStrike Falcon Endpoint Security webpage.

VDI provides a flexible computing option for users who may not require physical devices or decline to install Trellix, but still need access to essential academic and administrative resources. The University Library's Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) service, offers access to a Windows OS desktop and a variety of tools and software from any laptop or tablet.

Visit the UCLA Library Virtual Desktop page to learn more about VDI. To request the VDI software, contact the UCLA Library via the CLICC Service Portal. 

Loaner Laptop 

An additional alternative to installing Trellix, is to obtain a laptop from the UCLA Library’s equipment lending program. 

Laptops are available for short term or long-term loans depending on the device. For more information, visit the UCLA Library Equipment Lending page.
