Hi Team, 

Has anyone tried the VM level threat scan ?

Does anyone have a file to infect the VM or a video related to testing treat scan level VM?

Thanks

We haven't, yet. It is on our roadmap to try it out. Currently only still supported for VMware. Other platforms are in the making. Unfortunately there is no demo video of it to be found on the Internet.

Hi ​@Onno van den Berg 

Ok Thanks for your answer 

And i have a question ​@Onno van den Berg when we backup the database can we threatscan the file backup database ?

Thanks

In case the database files are protected via a VM backup it will indeed be scanned when you enable Threatscan on it.

Hi ​@Onno van den Berg 

No, for databases we backed up with an agent, will they be scanned with treatscan?

No, as far as I'm aware this will only scan files either through a FS backup or supported VM backup.

Couple of resources to consider in Readiverse

  1. Threat Scan course (SaaS - but some relevant concepts for Software)
  2. Threat Scan hands-on guide (FS, but gives you a general feel for configuration and running a job)

hi guys, 

is possible to try thread scan for hyper-v vms ?

Hi ​@TomasK. Officially this is not supported, yet. However, I would be surprised if the next release that should arrive this month is still lacking it. Right now only VMware is supported.
