Anti-Virus and CDR Made Easy with FileCloud’s Available Integrations

FileCloud provides a hyper-secure environment with security features like Zero Trust File Sharing®, 256-bit AES encryption and SSL/TLS protocols to secure data at rest and in transit. 2FO and SSO help bring FileCloud into an organization’s preexisting infrastructure, and integrations with important security tools helps ensure that data is protected from beginning to end.

FileCloud’s CDR Integration

Everfox (formerly Forcepoint Federal): FileCloud’s integration with Everfox Content Disarm and Reconstruction (CDR) technology offers a powerful solution for organizations seeking to bolster their file security and threat prevention capabilities. This partnership combines FileCloud’s robust enterprise file sharing and sync platform with Everfox’s advanced data first security model technology to create a seamless, secure file handling environment.

Everfox disarms files by removing any compromised embedded elements, such as malicious scripts and malware. Everfox then constructs a safe version of each file that is fully usable. This process happens in a matter of milliseconds, and works across as variety of file types, including Word and other MS Office files, PDFs, image files, and more.

An important functionality of this feature is the ability to quarantine files while they are scanned by Everfox, so the file will not be available to the user to access until the scan is complete.

Anti-Virus in FileCloud

FileCloud’s advanced integration with ClamAV and ICAP protocols strengthens security by enabling multi-layered, real-time defense mechanisms to protect business-critical files and maintain data integrity. These integrations are essential for organizations looking to uphold security and compliance without sacrificing the performance or adaptability of their file-sharing solution.

ClamAV Integration

FileCloud’s out-of-the-box integration with ClamAV, a popular open-source antivirus software, enables automated file scanning to detect and prevent malware. This integration allows FileCloud to monitor file uploads in real-time, effectively intercepting any malicious content before it can enter the system. ClamAV’s reputation for robust protection makes it particularly advantageous for organizations aiming to implement efficient, high-value security solutions with minimal configuration requirements. Customers can activate ClamAV functionality in FileCloud by simply creating an account on the ClamAV website.

ICAP Support

FileCloud’s support for ICAP (Internet Content Adaptation Protocol) amplifies its security offerings by enabling seamless integration with third-party antivirus and Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solutions. This protocol supports a bring-your-own-antivirus approach, enabling FileCloud to offload scanning tasks to an ICAP-compatible antivirus server. Through ICAP, organizations with stringent compliance standards and pre-existing or choice of security systems can leverage their preferred antivirus or DLP solutions, ensuring files are scrutinized thoroughly before storage or sharing.

Overall, FileCloud’s ClamAV and ICAP integrations highlight a strong commitment to security, making FileCloud an adaptable and compliance-ready file-sharing platform for businesses. These integrations equip organizations with advanced antivirus and DLP capabilities, enabling FileCloud to detect, prevent, and respond to security threats efficiently. By supporting real-time antivirus scanning and customizable DLP features, FileCloud empowers organizations to establish a secure digital environment, reducing risk while preserving flexibility in file sharing and data management.
