Files are Preprocessed

All files submitted to Capture ATP for analysis are first preprocessed by the GAV service to determine if a file is malicious or benign. You can also use GAV settings to select or define address objects to exclude from GAV and Capture ATP scanning.

Preprocessed files determined to be malicious or benign are not analyzed by Capture ATP. If a file is not determined to be malicious or benign during preprocessing, the file is submitted to Capture ATP for analysis.
