From the "Policy" column, select the policy associated with the Category "Application Control Options (Windows)" that is specific for the asset being reviewed. Select the "Reputation" tab. Verify the option for sending binaries for analysis under the "Advanced Threat Defense (ATD) settings" is selected. Consult with the ISSO/ISSM to review the written policy to verify the usage of an ATD is documented.

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
