What does the GLOB SYNTAX in exclusions help define?

The GLOB SYNTAX in exclusions is specifically designed to define file paths, names, or extensions for detections in a flexible manner. This syntax allows administrators to specify patterns that match multiple files or directories, enabling them to create broad or specific exclusion rules for file analysis. For example, if an administrator wants to exclude all files with a certain extension, such as ".tmp," they can use GLOB SYNTAX to indicate that pattern.

Using GLOB SYNTAX effectively helps manage what the system should ignore during scans or detections, thereby optimizing the performance of the security solution and reducing false positives. This capability is crucial for fine-tuning detection processes, especially in environments with many legitimate files that may otherwise trigger alerts.
