Sandstorm minimum recommended file scan size

Reto Schelbert

Hi

 

Does anybody know what the recommended minimum file scan size value with usage of Sandstorm is?

 

 

Also when does the Warning appear then?

 

Can't find any information about this.

 

Thanks and Best Regards

    The maximum size that is sent to Sandstorm is 10MB.

    In XG v15 the default value for "Do not scan files larger than" was 1 MB. 

    In XG v16 (or maybe v16.5) and later the default value for "Do not scan files larger than" is 30 MB.

    I'm not sure, but I think that during the upgrade if the value was below 10 MB we increased to be 10 MB (or maybe 30MB) and put that message in the Control Center.

     

    With the default settings (30 MB scan limit size).

    9 MB files are AV scanned and executables are sent to sandbox

    11-29 MB files are AV scanned

    31 MB files are not scanned at all

     

    You can google things like "computer virus size distribution".  The vast majority of malware is below 10MB.

     

    In order to fully utilize sandstorm the minimum value for "do not scan larger than" is 10MB.
