Manage File Inspection and File Analysis

Protect your network from malicious files using file inspection and file analysis. You can enable these features for traffic to internet destinations and to private resources.

Malicious files can be encountered through an explicit download, such as when a user clicks a link in an email, or through a behind-the-scenes 'drive-by' download scenario.

Secure Access offers two options for evaluating files for malicious content:

Once inspected and analyzed, Secure Access allows "good" files through and blocks the downloading of malicious files. When a malicious file is deleted in internet traffic, Secure Access shows the end user a block page.
