Computing the overall file reputation in the Sensor

Prev Next

Since the Sensor receives file reputation for a file from three different sources, it must choose the one that is most relevant to the security requirements of your network. To do this, the Sensor assigns varying importance to each of the three providers.

  • First preference is given to the Enterprise malware confidence since it is specific to this environment.
  • Second preference is given to the Intelligent Sandbox since it is configured in your policy and might carry out static and dynamic analysis if they are enabled in the appliance.
  • Third preference is given to Trellix GTI.

After the Sensor has selected the appropriate score, it is displayed in the Manager. You can view this score in several pages in the Manager. One of the pages where you are able to see it mapped to the appropriate engine is the Malware Files page under the TIE / GTI File Reputation column. For more details on viewing detected threats in the Manager, refer to the Trellix Intrusion Prevention System Product Guide.
