Storing client-side file uploads in the cloud is becoming an increasingly risky business. As more and more companies purchase cloud storage subscriptions from Amazon, Microsoft, and other major industry players, threat actors divert more and more attention toward exploiting these storage locations with insecure file uploads & custom threats designed to bypass peripheral high-level virus scanning policies.

In-storage virus scanning & content verification can be the difference between the success and failure of a latent cyber-attack. By deploying Cloudmersive Storage Protect alongside our buckets and blobs, we can scrutinize each individual file upload in-storage, detecting virus and malware signatures & simultaneously identifying invalid files, scripts, password-protected files, archives, and a variety of additional hidden content threats. We can even set custom restrictions against unwanted file types to dramatically increase our threat profile – all without writing a line of code.
