Malware Scanning for File Uploads

Rama Sadhu Updated by Rama Sadhu

Introduction

In today's digital landscape, AppTrana customers often upload files without prior content scanning, leaving them vulnerable to significant risks, including data breaches and website defacement. To address these concerns, we’re excited to introduce our latest enhancement: a comprehensive content scanning feature.  

This new capability will automatically detect and block malicious files containing malware, significantly improving security for our users.

This feature is available exclusively for customers on the Enterprise Plan.
The maximum file size allowed for scanning is 15MB. If a file exceeds this limit, only the first 15MB will be scanned, and the results will be based on that portion of the file.

How to Enable Malware Scanning?

  1. Go to Settings page and select the web application. 
  2. Click WAF and go to File Upload Settings section. 
  3. A check box is given to enable Malware Scanning for file uploads.
Possible Responses
  1. Migrate your application to new architecture 
This feature is supported only in new WAF architecture. 
  1. Confirmation pop-up for valid promocode 

Here a pop-up opens for confirmation of malware scan for selected application. This pop-up message gives details of promocode, number of applications enabled for malware scanning, and with the promocode how many attempts are left to initiate the scan for different applications. 

 Click Yes, Enable Malware Scanning to proceed. A success pop-up message displays.

  1. Promocode doesn’t support malware scanning 

If you are an enterprise customer and unable to initiate malware scanning for your applications with current promocode, contact Support.

How to Disable Malware Scanning?

Uncheck on the Enable Malware Scanning for File Uploads checkbox. 

A confirmation pop-up opens. Click Yes to provide confirmation. 

Once malware scanning is disable for the application, a success pop-up message opens. 

 

For more information about file uploads and supports go File Upload Settings.
