You can configure Security Agents to skip scanning of trusted processes during Application Control, Behavior Monitoring, Device Control, Endpoint Sensor, and Real-time Scans. After adding a program to the Trusted Programs List, the Security Agent does not subject the program or any processes initiated by the program to Real-time Scan. Add trusted programs to the Trusted Program List to improve the performance of scanning on endpoints.

Note:

You can add files to the Trusted Programs List if the following requirements are met:

  • The file is not located in the Windows system directory.

  • The file has a valid digital signature.

After adding a program to the Trusted Programs List, the Security Agent automatically excludes the program from the following scans:

  • Application Control (configurable only on the Apex Central console)

  • Behavior Monitoring

  • Device Control

  • Endpoint Sensor (configurable only on the Apex Central console)

  • Real-time Scan: file checking and process scanning
