Containment Configuration

 

    Click 'Settings' > 'Containment' to open this interface.
      • If CIS encounters a file that has a trust status of 'Unknown' then you have the option to automatically run that file in the container.
      • The container is a secure, virtual environment where unknown files can run, but cannot affect the rest of your computer.
        • Files in the container are isolated from other processes, write to a virtual file system and registry, and cannot access your user data.

            • Shared Space - Applications in the container cannot save files to your local file system. Because of this, CIS creates a special folder at 'C:ProgramDataShared Space' for you to save files created or downloaded in the container. You can access files in this folder from your local desktop.
              • The containment settings area lets you configure all aspects of the container:

              • Auto-Containment Rules - Create and manage rules which tell CIS how to handle unknown files
              • Containment - An Overview - Background information about the containment process
              • Unknown Files: The Scanning Processes - Background information on how CIS determines the reputation of a file
