Maintain Your System: File Types Eligible for Dynamic Analysis

The list of file types eligible for Dynamic Analysis is determined by the vulnerability database (VDB), which is updated periodically (but no more than once per day.) If you are an Admin user, you can update file types eligible for dynamic analysis.

The supported file types for automatic submission can vary in every release. The currently supported files for automatic submission are:

PE Executable (32-bit Only)
EXE
DLL
PDF
MSOLE2 (Microsoft Object Linking and Embedding Compound File)
DOCX, PPTX, XLSX

Note	GZ and ZIP file types are not supported for automatic submission.

To ensure that your system has the current list:

Procedure

Step 1	Do one of the following: (Recommended) See Vulnerability Database Update Automation Regularly check for new VDB updates, and Manually Update the VDB when needed. If you choose this option, we recommend that you schedule regular reminders to do this.
Step 2	If your file policies specify individual file types instead of the Dynamic Analysis Capable file type category, update your file policies to use the newly supported file types.
Step 3	If the list of eligible file types changes, deploy to managed devices.
