Integration with AMSI

The Antimalware Scan Interface (AMSI) detects any malicious script or commands executed on the system. The scripts or commands detected by AMSI are later shared with Qualys Cloud Agent. The AMSI engine decodes the encoded scripts or arguments in a human-readable format.

You must log into the Antimalware Scan Interface on Windows 10.
