I have some questions, regarding malware detection
I´ve just enabled and some things crosseed my mind:
1) If a malware is found, would I receive a mail message regarding it?
today I got na email message: [Success] Daily malware detection report (0 malware events for 0 workloads) / Inline and Index analytics summary
In the event of finding anything would I get a mail message, alerting it?
2) Last week I was struggling to make the malware downlaod signatures working, due to some crazy problems. Now, I think everything is Ok, but i´m afraid of getting the same problem back again, or worse, if internet access fails, for some reason, would I be notified about it? IN the event of not being able to download new signatures, would I get a mail message or another warning to tell me that the signatires are old?
3) Can i schedule the downlaod of malware definitions to avoid the defualt 00?00 time? Can i do something about, using powershell? Can I use powershell to downlaod malware definitions?
4) How can I SIMULATE a malware being found? Can I securely test the malware detection to make sure that the products is really doing its job? Can I use the EICAR test file to simulate a problem: Is malware detction able to see EICAR test file as a threat?
