What types of attachments are scanned?

We’re gradually transitioning Guard Detect into Atlassian Administration. We’ll support Guard Detect until the Atlassian Administration experience includes all the same features (and new ones!).

The Findings page in Atlassian Administration is the first step in the transition.

Go to Findings documentation

Who can do this?
Role: Organization admin, Guard Detect admin
