Where would you go to add an exception to exclude a specific file hash from examination by the Malware profile for a Windows endpoint?

Suggested Answer: D Vote an answer

To add an exception to exclude a specific file hash from examination by the Malware profile for a Windows endpoint, you need to use the Action Center in Cortex XDR. The Action Center allows you to create and manage actions that apply to endpoints, such as adding files or processes to the allow list or block list, isolating or unisolating endpoints, or initiating live terminal sessions. To add a file hash to the allow list, you need to choose Allow list, select new action, select add to allow list, add your hash to the list, and apply it. This will prevent the Malware profile from scanning or blocking the file on the endpoints that match the scope of the action. Reference: Cortex XDR 3: Responding to Attacks1, Action Center2
