File Upload Security Challenges

To address the challenge of file upload security, traditional methods such as single engine antivirus software, web application firewalls (WAF), firewalls, and sandboxing require additional

Known Malware

With over one billion types of known malware, ensuring that every file uploaded to your system is malware-free is a significant challenge. Single-engine anti-malware scans only detect 40-80% of known malware, leaving organizations vulnerable to data breaches.

Targeted Attacks

Cybercriminals can use custom-crafted malware to exploit zero-day vulnerabilities for targeted attacks on file upload capabilities in web applications. Traditional solutions like web application firewalls and single engine antivirus engines are ineffective against zero-day threats.

Sensitive & Unwanted Data

Enabling file upload capabilities may pose compliance and regulatory risks, as users could potentially upload personally identifiable information (PII) or other sensitive data that could make you liable if you fail to meet compliance mandates like GDRP and PCI DSS.

Vulnerabilities in Binaries

The challenge of ensuring secure binary files lies in identifying and addressing vulnerabilities and weaknesses. When vulnerabilities are present in binaries uploaded to web applications, attackers may gain unauthorized access to hardware, software, data, or other assets within an organization's network.

Compliance

Organizations may need to select malware engines from vendors that are approved by their government and meet national security requirements. This ensures that their cybersecurity measures align with government standards and mitigates the risk of using software that may compromise national security.
