By integrating Sophos’ advanced virus detection engine into Cloud Storage Security’s easy to use, cloud native scanning solution Antivirus for Amazon S3, Cloud Storage Security will provide organizations with improved protection against malware intrusion into Amazon S3. “We chose to integrate the Sophos threat engine into our products because of its high accuracy in detecting malicious files, ease of integration and exceptional performance,” said Aaron Newman, CEO and Co-founder of Cloud Storage Security. “Sophos gives us the ability to scan extremely large data sets more quickly and meet an increasing demand from our growing customer base for the ability to scan very large, multi-gigabyte files.  Adding the Sophos virus detection engine also makes our [Antivirus for Amazon S3](https://cloudstoragesecurity.com/aws-antivirus) the only solution on AWS Marketplace that enables customers to scan their Amazon S3 environment in tenant with multiple detection engines.” The Sophos threat engine will complement and enhance the existing levels of security inherent in Cloud Storage Security’s scanning solution, and it enables Cloud Storage Security to provide some of the most effective and efficient antimalware detection and remediation available for Amazon S3. This enables customers to enhance the ability to identify threats in Amazon S3 by adding Sophos’ advanced detection engine to Cloud Storage Security’s existing detection engines. By scanning files leveraging multiple detection engines, customers can more accurately identify problem and infected files for remediation.  Additionally, the integrated solution will run more efficiently, can easily scale, analyze a broader range of file types, and handle large files.
