Overview

The Cloudmersive Virus Scanning Reverse Proxy Server is a cloud-based security layer deployed at the network edge to intercept incoming uploads and API traffic before it reaches your backend. Without requiring any changes to your application code, it scans all file uploads and base64-encoded binary content (JSON/XML), leveraging Cloudmersive’s Virus Scan API that includes over 17 million virus and malware signatures. The solution offers advanced multi-factor threat analysis and 360‑degree content validation to detect macros, scripts, executables, invalid files, and more, enhancing enterprise-grade protection across multiple platforms and deployment modes.

Features and Capabilities

• **Advanced Threat Detection: **Seamlessly integrates with Cloudmersive’s Virus Scan API, which maintains a library of more than 17 million virus and malware signatures, and performs multi-factor threat analysis to detect hidden threats.
• **360‑Degree Content Validation: **Validates file structure, metadata, and content to flag mismatches such as executables disguised as images, macro‑enabled documents, invalid or password‑protected files.
• **Supports Multiple Data Formats: **Scans multipart/form-data uploads and binary content embedded in JSON or XML payloads (e.g. base‑64 encoded files).
• **Zero-Code Integration: **Deploys as a reverse proxy in front of web apps or APIs—no code changes needed in existing applications.
• **Flexible Deployment Options: **Available across environments including public cloud, private cloud, managed instances, Azure App Service, Kubernetes, and government cloud deployments.
• **Security Policies & Customization: **Configure policies like path blocking, transform redirects, SQL injection, XSS, XXE protection, rate limiting, IP allow/block lists, and bot/Tor client blocking.
• **High Availability & DR: **Supports multi-node, multi-datacenter, active/active or active/passive failover setups with health check endpoints for monitoring.
• **Platform Support: **Compatible with Windows Server 2016/2022, Debian 10 Linux, and Kubernetes deployments to fit diverse enterprise infrastructure.
