Overview

Cloudmersive Virus Scanning Forward Proxy is a cloud-based security solution that scans outbound network traffic to detect and block viruses, malware, and other malicious content before files leave an organization's network. Operating transparently as a forward proxy, it intercepts files and data streams to perform deep, multi-layered virus scanning without requiring changes to client applications or infrastructure. Leveraging a comprehensive and continuously updated malware signature database, the proxy protects organizations from unknowingly spreading infected files, ensuring compliance and strengthening data security across all outbound communications.
