Title
Antivirus/AV/Endpoint Security Exclusions for Migration Manager -
Description
Customer requires a list of process names and locations for antivirus exclusion; some endpoint security tools, anti virus, anti malware solutions can be overzealous and detect Migration process as malware or unwanted program behavior. This is ideally done during implementation but in some cases new servers/instances/machines are spun up or brought into the mix and proper AV exclusions are not made.
More heuristically-oriented systems such as crowdstrike will trigger unnecessary errors because these exceptions are not being made.
-
Cause
AV/Antivirus/Endpoint Security solutions have not been properly configured to exclude the necessary processes or new resources have been added and there is a need to verify that antimalware solutions are properly implemented. -
