01 · Arrival containment
Put the file out of reach.
Downloads, chat attachments, removable media, and manual scans enter one protective path instead of relying on a file already being recognised.
Unknown malware
Keep unfamiliar files from becoming an incident.
SafeLayer isolates suspicious files the moment they arrive, then builds a verdict before they can be opened or executed.

- Decision path
- Hold, inspect, decide
Decision before execution
An unfamiliar file is evaluated before it can be opened or executed.
Close the exposure window
Act before a signature catches up.
A new threat can be invisible to signature-based scanning. SafeLayer takes the safer action first, then uses several sources of evidence to decide what happens next.
02 · Evidence-led verdict
Check more than one signal.
Known detections, scan engines, risk scoring, and a Defender second opinion provide context for each unfamiliar file.
03 · Clear next step
Restore, quarantine, or review.
Clean files return to where they came from. Malicious files stay isolated, while uncertain results remain held for an informed decision.
Built for the gap
The safest response to an unknown is to wait.
SafeLayer is designed to complement, not replace, Microsoft Defender. It protects the period between a file arriving and the wider security ecosystem learning what it is.
