Box has released an upgraded algorithm and new supported file types to Box Shield Malware Deep Scan, our deep learning-based malware detection tool, to further improve the accuracy and scope of the scan.
Box Shield Malware Deep Scan leverages deep learning technology to look inside the file to identify malicious traits in near real-time. The deep scan capability alongside the reputation scan against leading third-party threat intelligence databases helps enterprises better discover and contain the spread of malware before it becomes a data breach or causes a significant loss of business continuity. We have deployed a new and improved algorithm to identify more sophisticated malware strands more accurately, and have added support for the following new file types:
