Hello ​@Alan ,

 

You can follow the next steps in order to detect, for example EXE & MSI, inside a ZIP.

  1. Create a file profile including MSI and EXE file types. 

 

  1. Create a DLP profile including the created File Profile.

 

  1. Create the Real Time Policies including a ZIP/7ZIP file type constraint and the DLP profile created.
  2. With this policy you should now ne able to detect EXE & MSI inside ZIPs.

 

Regards!
