Integration - ClamAV
ClamAV is the most popular open-source antivirus solution, and the de facto global standard for mail gateway malware scanning.
ClamAV was originally created in 2002 by Contextal Founders!
Integration Details
ClamAV has been integrated with Contextal Platform 1.0 and is used for malware scanning and signature-based detections.
Improved Security
The ClamAV engine used within Contextal Platform has been specially configured, with many of its default internal data processors disabled and replaced by the platform’s own advanced equivalents. This enhances security significantly, as Contextal Platform’s processors are primarily written in Rust. Additionally, all of them are isolated within dedicated containers, adding an extra layer of protection against potential vulnerabilities.
Contextual Detections
You can utilize ClamAV detections in scenarios (see Block Known Malware and Contextual Whitelisting for examples), and even perform cross-object matching - something not possible with vanilla ClamAV and most other AV solutions.
