exclusions vdi non-persistent

L3 Networker

Hello, does anyone know if there is any document that tells us which folders and subfolders we should exclude from XDR when using Citrix and VMware Horizon with non-persistent VDI?

 

In Palo Alto's documentation, I don't see anything specific except for the app layers. However, both Citrix and VMware request the exclusion of many folders from the AV system. Can someone help?

Best regards

Hi @tlmarques ,

 

Thank you for writing to live community!

 

Besides what @aspatil mentioned, it really depends on Citrix variants that are available in your infrastructure. For example, there are some types of Citrix devices as below:

  • Storefront

  • Cloud Connector

  • Receiver for Windows

  • HVD Servers etc.

Based on the above and there could be many more, some whitelists that are generally made in Pre-execution modules of Cortex XDR Malware Profiles could be under the Citrix folders(eg. C:\ProgramData\Citrix\*,C:\Program Files (x86)\Citrix\*,C:\Program Files\Citrix\*)

 

However, we know that these are very broad whitelists and hence, you can ask your vendor to provide you with more granular whitelists which would definitely be a good use case to make under scanning and pre-execution allowlists.

 

Hope this helps. Please mark the response as "Accept as Solution" if it answers your query.

I've put the whitelist you share (eg. C:\ProgramData\Citrix\*,C:\Program Files (x86)\Citrix\*,C:\Program Files\Citrix\*) on "Portable Executable and DLL Examination"
