Process

How File Upload Security Works

A real-time, multi-layer inspection pipeline that intercepts every uploaded file before it touches your infrastructure.

1. File Intercepted

The file upload request is intercepted at the WAF, API Gateway, or load balancer — before the file reaches your application or storage layer.

2. Multi-Layer Scan

Content is analysed using signature detection, CDR (Content Disarm & Reconstruct), sandbox detonation, and AI-based behavioural analysis simultaneously.

3. Allow or Block

Clean files are forwarded instantly. Threats are quarantined and logged with full forensic detail — giving your team actionable intelligence on every incident.

Detection Engine

Malware & Threat Detection

A layered detection approach that catches known threats, zero-days, and obfuscated malware that evades traditional AV engines.

Content Disarm & Reconstruct (CDR)

Strips active content from documents — macros, embedded scripts, OLE objects — and rebuilds a clean, safe version for the user.

Sandbox Detonation

Suspicious files are safely detonated in an isolated SecneurX sandbox environment — exposing ransomware, APT droppers, and zero-day exploits.

AI-Based Behavioural Analysis

Machine learning models trained on millions of threat samples detect anomalous file behaviour and evasion techniques that bypass signature-based detection.

Threat Intelligence Integration

Cross-referenced against SecneurX live threat feeds — hash reputation, C2 indicators, and known malware families — updated in real time.

Multi-AV Engine Scanning

Files are simultaneously scanned by multiple leading antivirus engines in parallel — dramatically increasing detection coverage beyond any single-vendor solution and eliminating blind spots.

Proactive DLP — Sensitive Data Removal

Automatically detects and redacts sensitive data — PII, financial records, credentials — before files enter or leave your network. Supports 110+ file types for GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS compliance.

File Type Verification — Spoofed Extension Detection

Verifies the true file type based on binary content — not just the extension. Blocks files masquerading as safe types (e.g. an EXE disguised as a .TXT), a common technique used in APT campaigns.

GenAI-Era Threat Protection

Purpose-built to counter AI-generated malware and LLM-assisted obfuscation — threats engineered to bypass traditional defences. SecneurX's proactive CDR rebuilds only known-good content, making novel AI-crafted threats irrelevant.

Deployment

Fits Your Infrastructure

Drop SecneurX File Upload Security into your existing stack — no rearchitecture needed.

WAF Integration

Plug directly into your Web Application Firewall as an inspection module. Compatible with leading WAF vendors including F5, Cloudflare, and AWS WAF.

API Gateway

REST API integration for any file upload workflow. A single API call submits the file and receives a clean/block verdict — ideal for microservices architectures.

Load Balancer

Transparent inline deployment at the load balancer layer. All multipart file uploads are intercepted and inspected with zero changes to your application code.

NAS & Storage

Scans files at the point of write to Network-Attached Storage, SharePoint, or S3-compatible buckets — protecting shared storage from malware propagation.

ICAP Protocol

Native ICAP server support enables transparent integration with any ICAP-compatible proxy, secure web gateway, or email security gateway — no custom code required.

REST API & SDK

Integrate file scanning into any application in minutes via a clean REST API. Sample code, Postman collections, and full documentation available for all major languages.

Audit & Compliance

Built for Regulated Environments

Every scan generates a tamper-evident audit record. Compliance teams get the visibility they need; security teams get the forensics.

Full Audit Logs

Every upload — verdict, file hash, timestamp, user, and action taken.

GDPR & Data Residency

On-premise and air-gapped modes ensure file data never leaves your jurisdiction.

SIEM & SOAR Export

CEF and JSON syslog streaming to your SIEM; webhook alerts to SOAR playbooks.

ISO 27001 & SOC 2 Ready

Controls and evidence reports mapped to ISO 27001, SOC 2, and NIST CSF frameworks.
