Action tab. |
Procedure
- On the left menu, click Security Risk Scan and select the Target tab.
- From the Target tab, under Advanced
Options, expand the Scan Restrictions
Criteria.
Note
Select the checkbox for the items you want to scan and set the appropriate values. - Under Do not scan file if...
-
File size exceeds—type a value between 1-100-MB.
-
- Under Do not scan compressed files if, type values
according to the following:
-
Decompressed file count exceeds [xxxxx]—type the total decompressed file count (1-10000) that should not be exceeded. When PortalProtect encounters a number of files equal to or greater than this number it will not scan the files.
-
Size of Decompressed file exceeds [xxxx]—type a value in megabytes (1-2048) to set a limit for the size of the compressed files PortalProtect will scan. When PortalProtect encounters a compressed file that is equal to or greater than this size, it will not scan the file.
-
Number of layers of compression exceeds [xx]—type a number (1-20) to set a limit for the number of layers of compression to which PortalProtect will scan. When PortalProtect encounters a file of a compression layer equal to or greater than this number it will not scan the files.
-
Size of decompressed file is "x" times the size of compressed file—decompressed files must not exceed the multiple entered according to the compressed file size. Type a multiple (100-1000000) that the decompressed file must not exceed. Decompressed files that exceed the value: decompressed size is "x" times larger than the compressed size, will not be scanned.
