Attachment Cleaning (Threat Extraction)

Attachment Cleaning (Threat Extraction) is a Content Disarm and Reconstruction (CDR) engine that serves as an additional layer of security for email attachments on top of the Anti-Malware engine.

After the Anti-Malware security engine determines an attachment is not malicious, Attachment Cleaning (Threat Extraction) delivers a secure version of the attachment to the end user, removing hyperlinks behind text, macros, and other active content that may contain malware.

Administrators can allow end-users to retrieve the original version of the attachment. This action does not require the help desk's intervention. To configure the attachment cleaning workflow, see Attachment Cleaning (Threat Extraction).
