Chapter 13 File Reputation Filtering and File Analysis

Overview of File Reputation Filtering and File Analysis

If the file is sent for analysis:

•

Files are sent using SSL/TLS.

•

Analysis normally takes minutes, but may take longer.

•

Information about every file analyzed is added to the reputation database. File analysis results
contribute to the reputation of the file.

For information about verdict updates, see

Which Files Can Be Evaluated and Analyzed?

The reputation service evaluates most file types. File type identification is determined by file content and
is not dependent on the filename extension.

Some files with unknown reputation can be analyzed for threat characteristics.

Additional criteria apply, including some that are dynamically determined. For current information, see
the Release Notes for your AsyncOS version, available from
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/security/web-security-appliance/products-release-notes-list.html
