2.1.1. Overview of the Grip engine
The Grip analysis engine enables static analysis and shows file characteristics.
It does not provide threat information or a threat score.
However, it is useful for quickly analysing the file's metadata if it is classified as suspicious or malicious.
It is used to obtain information about the file prior to more in-depth analysis.
This data is displayed in the detailed report, more specifically in the TOP and Static sections (see Detailed report).
