Allowing contained applications to run normally

Prev Next

Once you determine that a contained application is safe, you can allow it to run normally in your environment.

  • Add the application to the global Exclusions list in the Dynamic Application Containment settings.

    In this case, the application is released from containment and runs normally, regardless of how many technologies have requested containment.

  • Configure Adaptive Threat Protection to raise the reputation threshold and release it from containment.

    In this case, the application is released from containment and runs normally unless another technology has requested to contain the application.

  • If TIE server is available, change the reputation of the file to a level that allows it to run, like Known Trusted.

    In this case, the application is released from containment and runs normally unless another technology has requested to contain the application.
