What is Anti-Virus Scanning?

Why is Anti-Virus Scanning Important?

Not having Anti-Virus Scanning puts your entire DAM, as well as the trail of information contained in marketing briefs, feedback and approvals at risk. Without it, harmful software can be uploaded and spread, potentially stealing personal information, corrupting files, or causing other serious damage. Even one infected file can lead to significant security breaches, data loss, and costly repairs.

How Anti-Virus Scanning Works at IntelligenceBank

When you upload a file in the DAM, it is automatically scanned to ensure it is safe. This is transparent to you and you’ll only be alerted if any virus is detected. If that happens, the upload is stopped and you’ll see an error message preventing the malicious file from being saved to your platform.

How to Get Started With Anti-Virus Scanning

As this service is an add-on, contacting your Customer Success Manager is the best way to organize implementation. Setting up Anti-Virus Scanning for your DAM is straightforward, as we do the configuration for you – so there is zero effort on your part. Once enabled, every file uploaded to your DAM will be scanned automatically, including the contents of zip files. If a virus is detected, the upload will be stopped, and an error message will appear.
