Upload an individual file to a file list

You must have the Malware Defense license for this procedure.

If you have a copy of the file you want to add to a file list, you can upload the file to the Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center for analysis. The system automatically calculates the file's SHA-256 value on upload. No file size limit applies for SHA-256 calculation.

Procedure

Step 1

Choose Objects.

Step 2

Choose File List from the list of object types.

Step 3

Click Edit (edit icon) next to the clean list or custom detection list where you want to add a file.

If View (View button) appears instead, the object belongs to an ancestor domain, or you do not have permission to modify the object.

Step 4

From the Add by drop-down list, choose Calculate SHA.

Step 5

(Optional) Enter a description of the file in the Description field. If you leave this field blank, the file name becomes the description during upload.

Step 6

Click Browse, and choose a file to upload.

Step 7

Click Calculate and Add SHA to upload the file and calculate the SHA-256 value.

Step 8

Click Save.

After completing these steps, the file is uploaded, its SHA-256 value is calculated, and the file is added to the selected file list for analysis.

What to do next

  • If an active policy references your object, deploy configuration changes.

Note

After you deploy configuration changes, the system no longer queries the AMP cloud for files on the list.
