    Note:

    Apex One Sandbox as a Service does not provide Product, Product host name, or Product IP address information.

    Apex Central consolidates Virtual Analyzer and user-defined suspicious object lists (excluding exceptions) and synchronizes the lists with integrated managed products.

    • For File detections, the Latest Action Result column displays the last action result reported from managed products.

    • For all other detection types, the Latest Action Result column displays "N/A".
