Handling Mode (What to do with suspects)

Description: Controls how AegisShield handles detected suspicious files (report-only, quarantine/disable patterns depending on implementation).

How it works: handling_mode determines whether AegisShield only reports findings or applies an action workflow appropriate for your environment.

How to access / configure:

  1. WP Admin → AegisShield → Malware Scan → Settings.
  2. Choose a handling mode.
  3. Save and rerun scan.

Recommended setting: Start with report-only; take action only after confirming findings to avoid false positives.
