File inventory filters

A file inventory filter defines the applications (groups of files) that can be restricted by a file control policy, and the applications (groups of files) that can be restricted by an Application Control Policy.

To access file inventory filters:

• Once you are in Arellia > Application Control select the Policies tab
• Select Application Control > Filters > File Filters

There are five types of filters: 

• Drive Type - These filters check the type of drive an application is executed from.
• Executable Headers - These filters check the characteristics of executable headers. The filters cannot be modified and new ones cannot be created.
• File Specifications - These filters specify which files are reported to the Notification Server. Example: Executables in Windows Directories.
• File Types - These filters check for specified file types. Example: .exe.
• Security Catalogs - These filters check if a specified file exists in a signed security catalog (.cat).
