The Advanced Threat Scan Engine (ATSE) uses a
combination of pattern-based scanning and heuristic scanning to detect document exploits
and
other threats used in targeted attacks. By default, this engine is enabled for virus
scanning
policies.
Its major features include:
-
Detection of zero-day threats
-
Detection of embedded exploit code
-
Detection rules for known vulnerabilities
-
Enhanced parsers for handling file deformities
