File Inspection Profiles Overview

Access this page from Shared Services > ATP > File Inspection Profiles.

Juniper ATP Cloud profiles let you define which files to send to the cloud for inspection. You can group types of files to be scanned together (such as .tar, .exe, and .java) under a common name and create multiple profiles based on the content you want scanned. Then enter the profile names on eligible Juniper Secure Edge devices to apply them.

Benefits of File Inspection Profiles

  • Allows you to create file categories to send to the cloud for scanning rather than having to list every single type of file you want scanned.

  • Allows you to configure multiple scanning categories based on file type, adding and removing file types when necessary, increasing or decreasing granularity.

You can also define the maximum file size requirement per each category to send to the cloud. If a file falls outside of the maximum file size limit the file is automatically downloaded to the client system.

Note:

If you are using the free or basic model of Juniper ATP Cloud, you are limited to only the executable file category.
Note:

The ELF file types support both static analysis and dynamic analysis.

Juniper ATP Cloud periodically polls for new and updated content and automatically downloads it to Juniper Secure Edge. There is no need to manually push your profile.
