The default malware scan can be extended by creating a custom malware detection profile. The malware detection profile allows users to add a custom hash list as a blocklist and an allowlist. Known malicious hashes that are sourced from other intelligence sources can be included in the blocklist.

The custom malware detection profiles can be used in the real-time protection policy creation workflow.
