About Virus and Malware Scan API by attachmentAV
The API scans files for viruses, worms, trojans, ransomware, and other malware by sending them to attachmentAV's service, which performs scanning using Sophos. It is offered as a REST API that works with any programming language or framework, including JavaScript, Java, PHP, Python, and Go. The integration flow involves an application calling the API to scan a file, with Sophos performing the scan and the application then evaluating the result.
The service can be consumed as SaaS or self-hosted on AWS. It scales the scan cluster automatically according to demand, and availability is maintained through load balancing and routing across multiple data centers. Sensitive data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and deleted immediately after processing.
The solution is ISO 27001 certified and GDPR compliant, and the company states it has more than 1,000 customers. It is intended for developers integrating malware scanning of user-generated content into their applications.
