Valkyrie Settings for MacOS Profile
-
Valkyrie is a cloud-based file verdict service that subjects unknown files to a range of tests in order to identify those that are malicious.
-
Xcitium Client Security for Mac can automatically submit unknown files to Valkyrie for analysis. When the tests are complete, Valkyrie will award a trust verdict to the file.
Note - 'Cloud Scanning' should be enabled in Antivirus section of XCS for Mac on the endpoints.
-
The verdicts can be viewed in 'Security' > 'Endpoint Security' > 'Valkyrie' interface.
See View list of Valkyrie Analyzed Files for more details.

Click 'Dashboards' > 'Dashboard' > 'Valkyrie' to view summary of all Valkyrie results.
Note: The version of Valkyrie that comes with the free version of Xcitium is limited to the online testing service. The Premium version also includes manual testing of files by Xcitium research labs, helping enterprises quickly create definitive whitelists of trusted files. Valkyrie is also available as a standalone service. Contact your Xcitium Account manager for further details. |
