Virus Scan

Business Background

When files are uploaded to your website, it is crucial to do a virus scan. It ensures that any files uploaded by users do not contain viruses or malware that could infect other users’ devices or compromise their security. Virus scans prevent infected files from being stored on the web server, which could otherwise lead to the entire website being compromised or used to distribute malware.

Titan Solution

Titan Flow offers added protection and lets you scan file uploads to prevent the acceptance of contaminated files. You can add conditions to specify when and where you want files to be scanned.

If you have a Titan Web project that uploads files and wants to push them to Google Drive or Salesforce, you can now run a virus scan on the files in Titan Flow. The virus scan checks that the file extension is correct and that there are no malware or viruses.

When the virus scan runs, one of three things can happen:

1. No viruses are found, and the file(s) are pushed to Salesforce or the file storage that you configured.
2. Some viruses are found, and those are removed from the file upload element. You can configure actions for the clean files.
3. All the files contain viruses. You can configure actions for the file upload failure.
