Trend Vision One™ - File Security introduction

Trend Vision One - File Security is a scanning app for files and cloud storage. It can detect all types of malicious software (malware) including trojans, ransomware, spyware, and more. Based on fragments of previously seen malware, File Security can detect obfuscated or polymorphic variants of malware.
File Security can assess any file type or size for malware and display real-time results. With the latest file reputation and variant protection technologies backed by leading threat research, File Security automates malware scanning.
It can also scan objects across your environment in any application, whether on-premises or in the cloud. Native scanning means you maintain data sovereignty while ensuring that files uploaded to your environment stay in your environment.
File Security comprises three sub-features:
  • File Security Storage
    File Security Storage provides anti-malware scanning on files in cloud storage services such as Amazon Web Services (AWS). You can integrate automated scanning of files as you upload them into your storage and effortlessly detect all types of malware including viruses, trojans, spyware, and more. Keep your cloud storage safe by connecting File Security to your cloud storage provider.
  • File Security SDK (Managed Service)
    Expose malware in any file by creating a custom program using one of the software development kits (SDKs) or directly through the command-line interface (CLI). Both SDK and CLI methods can send scan results to File Security where you can visually monitor scan progress plus malware prevalence and types. The scanner service of the File Security SDK is managed and hosted in a secure Trend cloud environment. The File Security SDK sends only the critical part of the file to the scanner services managed by Trend.
  • File Security Virtual Appliance
    Enables users of the File Security SDK to deploy the scanner as a virtual appliance, hosted in the user’s choice of on-premises or cloud environment. No file content will leave the user’s network boundary. In addition to maintaining the flexibility of using the File Security SDK to scan files locally, the connector component inside the FS Virtual Appliance can also be used to scan storage systems like NFS servers without programming.
