Products

• Data Loss Prevention Endpoint Discover

Issue/Introduction

It is being noticed that existing defaul exclude endpoint discover filter does not cover below location.
c:\Program Files (x86)\
Agent also scans files inside c:\Program Files (x86)\ path.

We can improve scanning timing of 32 bit agent by excluding path 'c:\Program Files (x86)\ '. Existing defaul exclude endpoint discover filter does not cover this location.

Resolution

Add below to the exclude filter. This variable was missing from the default filter list. This will filter location 'c:\Program Files (x86)\ ' and improve scanning of 32 bit Windows machine.
