Subject: Anti virus scanning for Postgres database servers

Hi Everyone,
The oganization I work for uses some postgres databases installed on Linux
servers. The security team is planning to initiate Microsoft Defender Anti
Virus scanning on these servers in an "Active" mode.
This will mean that the Postgres Installation directories and files will be
scanned by Microsoft Defender and quarantine any threats.
We have requested to exclude the data directories from the Antivirus
scanning.
Is anyone aware of any performance, operational, or data-loss related
challenges with Anti Virus scanning of Postgres binaries?
Thanking you in advance.
Greetings,
Soumen Rana
