ESA AMP Failure to Identify Known Malicious Hash

Navar

Level 1

Had an email with a PDF attachment that ESA AMP gave a disposition of LowRisk,  then 3 1/2 hours later changed the attachment to Malicious.  This is good but why didn't ESA AMP catch it the first time?  I ask this because Talos File Reputation lists the Date Detection Created as 05/01/2018.  The e-mail was delivered to us on 3/11/2019.

So why did ESA AMP give the PDF a LowRisk when Talos File Reputation knew about the Malicious Hash for 10 months?

This is very concerning and my trust in AMP is dropping.

I am going to guess that AMP's failure to identify known malicious files is related to the known AMP bug. CSCvg48611

ESA AMP will ignores all AMP selections that you have set for File Analysis if AMP gives a Disposition of LowRisk.  Scary.
