Natively mounting storage for inspection and sandboxing in the cloud

Abstract:

Systems and methods for continuously scanning and/or sandboxing files to protect users from accessing infected files by natively mounting public cloud file stores are provided. According to one embodiment, a determination is made by a network security device that is protecting the enterprise network regarding whether an untrusted file stored within a first repository of a public cloud file store, which is natively mounted on the network security device, is a clean file that is free of malicious content by applying one or more security checks to the untrusted file. When a result of the determination is affirmative, the network security device makes the clean file accessible to the users by copying the clean file from the first repository to a second repository that is accessible to the users.
