VirusTotal, now part of Google Cloud, provides threat context and reputation data to help analyze suspicious files, URLs, domains, and IP addresses to detect cybersecurity threats. This control can help mitigate adversaries that try to send malware via emails using malicious links or attachments. The malware-scanner service scans the uploaded document for malware. If the document is infected, the service moves it to a quarantined bucket; otherwise the document is moved into another bucket that holds uninfected scanned documents.
