Binary Files Content Inspection
The
Binary Files Content Inspection option allows for inspecting text content held in arbitrary binary files. When this option is disabled, DeviceLock performs keywords- and text pattern-based content analysis for only Unicode text held in certain file types (the file types listed in
Expansive coverage of multiple file formats and data types in the
ContentLock and NetworkLock section).
When this option is enabled, DeviceLock performs keywords- and text pattern-based content analysis for text held in any binary files, regardless of text encoding (Unicode or non-Unicode). In this case, content inspection may take considerably longer to complete.
Note: This option affects content-aware rules that employ keywords groups, pattern groups and/or complex content groups containing those group types. For details regarding content-aware rules, see
Content-Aware Rules (Regular Profile). |
To enable or disable this option, double-click the Binary Files Content Inspection item in the Service Options list, or right-click that item and then choose Enable or Disable.
