Cloud Malware Detection
As organisations increasingly rely on cloud applications to store, share, and collaborate on files, malware can enter the business through trusted channels. Cloud Malware Detection continuously scans cloud content to identify threats early and protect users, data, and business operations.
Why choose Cloud Malware Detection with Orixcom
Agentless cloud protection
Scan files across supported cloud applications using API-based integrations without deploying agents or impacting user productivity.
Continuous malware detection
Continuously inspect files as they are uploaded, shared, or modified to identify threats throughout their lifecycle.
Automated quarantine workflows
Automatically isolate malicious files and trigger response actions to reduce risk and accelerate remediation.
Leverage Cisco-powered threat intelligence
Benefit from advanced malware detection, behavioural analysis, and global threat intelligence to improve security outcomes.
Strengthen your SSE and SASE strategy
Integrate cloud malware protection into a unified cloud security framework that supports secure access, data protection, and threat defence.
Advanced malware analysis
Detect sophisticated threats using file reputation checks, behavioural analysis, sandboxing, and Secure Malware Analytics.
Where Cloud Malware Detection delivers impact
Stop malware from spreading through cloud applications
Files shared through cloud storage and collaboration platforms can introduce malware, ransomware, and other threats into your environment.
Impact
Detect and stop malicious files before they spread across users, devices, and business-critical systems.
Detect hidden threats in existing cloud content
Malicious files can evade initial detection and remain dormant within cloud applications for weeks or months.
Impact
Identify previously undetected malware and reduce hidden risk across your cloud environment.
Secure third-party file sharing and collaboration
Modern organisations rely on cloud applications to exchange files with external parties, creating new opportunities for threats to enter the business.
Impact
Enable secure collaboration while reducing exposure to malicious external cyber threats.
Gain visibility across cloud content
As cloud adoption grows, files move constantly between applications, users, and external parties, often beyond the visibility of traditional security tools.
Impact
Gain greater visibility into cloud file activity and identify threats that might otherwise go undetected.

FAQs
Can’t find what you’re looking for?
What is cloud malware detection?
Cloud malware detection identifies malicious files within cloud applications to help prevent malware, ransomware, and other file-based threats from spreading.
How is cloud malware detection different from traditional antivirus?
Traditional antivirus primarily protects endpoint devices by scanning files and processes on those devices.
Cloud malware detection extends protection into SaaS applications, inspecting files stored and shared within cloud environments.
Orixcom delivers this through API-based scanning and advanced threat intelligence, helping organisations identify threats that may not be visible through endpoint security alone.
Can cloud malware detection scan files already stored in cloud apps?
Yes. Cloud malware detection can scan both newly uploaded files and existing content already stored within supported cloud applications.
This helps organisations uncover threats that may have been missed previously or identified through new threat intelligence.
Which cloud applications should be covered?
Any cloud application where users upload, store, share, or collaborate on files should be considered for protection. This typically includes cloud storage, collaboration, productivity, and file-sharing platforms.
What happens after malicious files are detected?
Once a malicious file is identified, predefined policies can trigger actions such as quarantining the file, restricting access, generating alerts, or initiating remediation workflows. Orixcom helps organisations automate these actions to reduce response times and operational overhead.
Why does agentless or out-of-band scanning matter?
Agentless scanning allows files to be inspected directly within cloud applications without deploying software to user devices. This simplifies deployment, reduces operational overhead, and provides protection without affecting user productivity.
