Alert Name	The label of the event. This shows how the file was handled by the component mentioned above or the event that generated an EDR alert. Here are the possible actions per module: Antivirus - Windows, Mac OS, and Linux devices Malware detected Malware quarantined Malware removed from quarantine Malware restored from quarantine Malware removed from infected file The file was skipped by the scan Detected malware ignored Detected malware blocked File added to exclusions File added to trusted files list File reported as a false positive from the results screen Containment - Windows devices File run inside container with different restriction levels: Restricted Virtually File blocked File ignored Application Control - Windows devices File added to the file list File removed from the endpoint Trust rating updated for a file Autorun Control - Windows devices Detected item ignored Process / service stopped Auto-run process stopped. Corresponding auto-run entry removed. In the case of a service, XCS disables the service. Auto-start process quarantined. Corresponding auto-start entry removed. In the case of a service, XCS disables the service. Processes restored from quarantine File deleted from the endpoint Virtual Desktop - Windows devices Launched Terminated Session started Session paused Session continued Session terminated Switched to host Switched to virtual desktop EDR - Windows devices The label of the event / condition specified in the rule that generated an alert.
