Improve prevention against new forms of malware by enabling analysis of unknown binaries by Symantec CYNIC.
When enabled, binaries with a "NOT_LISTED" reputation are submitted to Symantec CYNIC for cloud analysis. The file must be a portable executable to be uploaded (e.g., “.exe”, “.dll”). Document files, such as PDFs, text files, pictures, spreadsheets, and other personal files cannot be uploaded. Analysis of files is fully automated and no information is shared with any third-party outside of Symantec CYNIC.
Enabling cloud analysis by Symantec CYNIC requires a Windows sensor 3.2+ and the local scanner set to enabled.
To enable cloud analysis
- Click Enforce, then Policies.
- Select the policy for which to enable cloud binary analysis.
- On the Sensor tab, select the checkbox for Submit unknown binaries for analysis.
- Confirm that you would like to share data with Carbon Black and Symantec CYNIC, then click Save.
