By default, vDefend Malware Detection and Prevention blocks which of the following file types?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

In VMware vDefend Malware Prevention, files are categorized based on their analysis results into distinct threat levels (e.g., Benign, Suspicious, Malicious). By default, the system is designed to balance security with business continuity to avoid disrupting legitimate network traffic.

Therefore, by default, the prevention engine will strictly block files that are definitively categorized as Malicious (meaning they have a known bad signature/hash or have explicitly exhibited malicious behavior in the dynamic sandbox). Files categorized as 'Suspicious' are allowed through but trigger high-priority alerts in the NDR console for an analyst to review. Blocking 'Suspicious' files by default could result in too many false positives and disrupt normal business operations.

Wait, does it really block Benign Files? That seems odd.

I feel like the focus was on malicious files in our last review session, but I can’t recall if suspicious files were included too.

I’m a bit confused; didn’t we discuss that benign files are usually safe? So, they shouldn’t be blocked by default, right?

I remember practicing a question about file types, and I think it was clear that corrupted files are not the main target for malware prevention.

I think vDefend is supposed to block Malicious Files, but I’m not entirely sure if it also deals with Suspicious Files.

From what I studied, I believe the default setting is to block malicious files, but I can't recall if it also includes suspicious files.

I'm a bit confused about the difference between corrupted and malicious files. Does vDefend block both, or just one of them?

I remember practicing a similar question, and I think the answer was definitely C) Malicious File, since that's the main threat.

I think vDefend primarily focuses on blocking malicious files, but I'm not entirely sure if it also blocks suspicious ones.
