Enabling or Disabling Riskware Detection Custom Policy Rules

You can enable or disable riskware detection custom policy rules by using the Malware Analysis appliance CLI:

When you enable a particular policy rule based on riskware detection on the Malware Analysis appliance, traffic matching the submission is marked as custom riskware and it will be excluded from further analysis. When you disable a particular policy rule based on riskware detection, traffic matching the submission is not marked as custom riskware. After you have configured the Malware Analysis appliance to detect a riskware custom policy rule, you can view the analysis results on the Alerts > Riskware page in the Web UI.

Riskware detection custom policy rules support only Riskware Object alerts on the Malware Analysis appliance.
