Partially analyzed files

CylanceAVERT
provides visibility into files that are only partially analyzed. When
CylanceAVERT
can not fully determine the sensitivity of a file, it appears in the Partially Analyzed Files list. The following are situations in which a file may be only partially analyzed:
  • The file is large enough that the scoring engine was not able to fully complete it's analysis before the file was exfiltrated.
  • The file is a compressed zip file with multiple levels of hierarchy, where only the initial levels were analyzed.
Based on their sensitivity scores, there are two possible outcomes for a partially analyzed file. Either the file is partially scored and sensitive data is found, or the file is partially scored and sensitive data is not found.
If a file is partially scored and sensitive information is not detected, the file appears in the Partially Analyzed Files list with an alert stating that it was only partially analyzed.
If a file is partially scored and sensitive information is detected, it will be treated the same as a fully scored file, and it appears in the File Inventory, Events view, and Evidence Locker. However, an icon displays beside the file in the tables and detailed views with an alert stating that it was only partially analyzed.
