Keep, Copy, Move or Delete Files

Configuring Keep, Copy/Move/Delete Remediation Actions

• Navigate to Workflows from the left-side navigation menu.
• Select the workflow for which you want to configure these remediations actions.
• Select the node for which you want to configure these remediations (Allowed Original, Allowed Sanitized, Blocked Original, Blocked Sanitized)
• Click on the box of the specific node.

Technical Considerations

• Move and Re-processing - when a sanitized file is moved from Storage A to Storage B, it will not be re-sanitized or re-encrypted on Storage B, even if Deep CDR is enabled there.

  • Similarly, if Real-Time Processing is enabled on Storage B, the moved file will not be processed again.

• File Overwriting - moving a file with the same name and path as an existing file on the destination storage will overwrite the existing file.

• By default, "Keep" is the selected option - which will keep the file as is.

• For the sanitized versions (Allowed Sanitized, Blocked Sanitized), Copy and Delete options are unavailable.
