These days we almost all use personal Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) clouds at work, such as Dropbox<\/a>, Google Drive<\/a>, and Microsoft OneDrive<\/a>. But, if privacy and security are at the top of your mind, these public clouds are, well, public. That’s where the open-source, private IaaS cloud software Nextcloud<\/a>\u00a0enters. You control your data. Now with\u00a0Kaspersky Scan Engine<\/a> added on, you make sure your files are free of malware before they’re loaded into the cloud.<\/p>\n

\n Best cloud storage services in 2020: Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, and more
\n <\/a>\n <\/p>\n

Free and cheap personal and small business cloud storage services are everywhere. But, which one is best for you? Let’s look at the top cloud storage options.<\/p>\n

Like any of the personal IaaS clouds<\/a>, with clients on mobile and desktop operating systems and files saved to your server, users can unknowingly upload and share infected files. The integrated antivirus Scan Engine intercepts and blocks such potentially dangerous files as they’re uploaded on the server-side. This makes sure malware isn’t spread to other users.<\/p>\n

The Kaspersky Scan Engine uses heuristic analysis and machine learning-based technologies to protect against a wide array of malware. It protects against Trojans, spyware, and adware. It also filters out malicious, phishing, and adware URLs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Frank Karlitschek, Nextcloud’s CEO, explained Nextcloud “strives to provide the most secure online collaboration platform on the market. By integrating Kaspersky’s powerful protection capabilities, enterprises can rest assured malicious content can not easily spread through their document exchange technology.”<\/p>\n

This feature is often requested by security managers, but curiously you rarely find it. For example, of all the major personal cloud storage services only OneDrive, to my knowledge, includes antivirus detection as a default service.<\/p>\n

In NextCloud, customers can install the antivirus application<\/a> from the program’s app store. The free version comes with the open-source ClamAV virus scanning engine<\/a>. Large business customers, though, have been asking for a bigger and better security engine. So, in partnership with Kaspersky<\/a>, you can now buy an on-premises Kaspersky Scan Engine and a special version of the Nextcloud antivirus app, which works hand in glove with the Scan Engine.<\/p>\n
