Excluding Files and Folders

Prev Next

You can enable and maintain the list of excluded files and folders in the Exploit Guard exception policy using the Web UI or the CLI.

Note

Excluding files and folders from Exploit Guard processing is not recommended because it restricts the files and folders that Exploit Guard protects.

The file and folder exclusion is only supported on hosts using Trellix Endpoint Security (HX) xAgent version 22 or later.
