What if the next file dropped into your cloud storage contained hidden malware? Would your current security setup catch it in time?

With collaboration tools and cloud storage now at the heart of how we work, the speed of data flowing in and out has never been higher. But with that speed comes real risk: research shows that nearly one in three data breaches begin with a malicious file. Many of these files live undetected in cloud repositories long before they are ever opened.

This is why we developed Glasswall Storage Monitoring, our newest Zero Trust file sanitization capability that works in real time to keep your files clean from the moment they enter your cloud environment.

The file that takes down your network? It could already be in your cloud

Files are often uploaded directly into cloud repositories such as SharePoint and OneDrive without any meaningful inspection. Unfortunately, traditional detection tools and manual processes cannot keep up. Glasswall Storage Monitoring solves this by continuously monitoring for new files and automatically sanitizing them before they can cause harm, with no action required from end users.

When a file is uploaded to a supported Microsoft 365 service, Storage Monitoring downloads it, sends it to Glasswall Halo for sanitization, and then replaces the original with a clean, fully functional version. All of this happens seamlessly in the background so users can keep working without disruption.

Built on Glasswall’s proven CDR technology

At the core of Storage Monitoring is Glasswall’s trusted Content Disarm and Reconstruction (CDR) engine, relied on by government agencies and defense organizations worldwide to protect against advanced threats.

Unlike traditional antivirus or sandboxing tools that try to detect known threats, CDR takes a different approach:

• Prevention, not detection: It removes threats before they become incidents rather than looking for known signatures or patterns

• Usable, clean files: Files are rebuilt to a safe, clean standard while preserving their original functionality and format

• Policy-driven control: Administrators can easily customize file sanitization stringency at different security classifications across their organization

The result is a level of protection that detection tools alone simply cannot deliver.

Seamless integration with Microsoft 365

Glasswall Storage Monitoring works where your teams already collaborate and share information. It integrates directly with Microsoft 365, covering SharePoint and OneDrive, to deliver continuous file protection across the most widely used enterprise collaboration tools. And with more integrations on the roadmap, organizations can look forward to broader coverage across Microsoft Outlook and additional platforms soon.

What this means for your data

With Storage Monitoring in place, incoming files across your Microsoft 365 environment are automatically monitored, sanitized, and returned in a safe, fully usable state.  

Collaboration features and version history remain intact so teams can work at full speed while staying protected from hidden malware threats.
