Description This article describes common security tool exclusions for the FortiDLP agent. Select any 'View exclusions' link to expand a list of exclusions inside the article (this will not open a new page).
Scope FortiDLP.
Solution

FortiDLP can be used alongside other security tools and agents also installed on the endpoint. However, it is recommended that exclusions for those other security tools are added to FortiDLP, and that the corresponding exclusions for the FortiDLP binaries are added into those other security tools.

 

This article contains a list of tools that may conflict with the FortiDLP agent. Note that this is being constantly maintained and updated. If trying to work with a security tool is not on this list, or if issues are encountered with the existing list, contact support. 

 

Exclusions to Add in Third-Party Tools:

For details on the FortiDLP directories and binaries that should be excluded from other security tools, see Directories, Files and Processes to Exclude from Virus Scanning.

 

Exclusions to Add in FortiDLP:

 

When using any of the following tools, add the corresponding process names and paths to the appropriate agent configuration group.
