Configuring riskware file blocking

Prev Next

You can enable or disable blocking files based on riskware detected by Trellix Riskware rules by using the File Protect appliance Web UI or CLI:

When you enable riskware detection both to generate a riskware alert and to block a file, the File Protect appliance blocks files that might be suspicious. In this scenario, a malware object event notification is generated if the sample is detected as riskware. You can view the analysis results on the eAlerts > Alerts page in the Web UI.

Note

Blocking files based on the riskware detection feature is disabled by default.
