Scan modes

Full scan

This is the default mode, the most heavy execution. It executes all configured scan tasks based on the workflow configuration and gives a detailed result.

Triage scan

Info

This is an experimental execution mode which will be continuously improved

The fastest execution mode with limited capability. It’s able to tell if a submitted file is surely benign or malicious, but not always produces a final verdict. The goal of this scan type is to produce a verdict as soon as possible with the execution of a limited set of scan tasks.

Smart scan

Info

This is an experimental execution mode which will be continuously improved

Optimal if execution time is important but a final verdict is also required. A triage scan is executed first, if it results a final verdict, that’s the final result. Otherwise additional scan tasks are executed until a final verdict is produced.
