Powered by Trend Micro, DocAve Antivirus for SharePoint is a new anti-malware option that enables realtime, event-based scanning to ensure malware is identified and quarantined before it reaches the SQL database. For organisations already utilising Symantec Scan Engine, AvePoint offers a version optimised for Symantec engines as well.

DocAve Antivirus protects SharePoint platforms from viruses, worms, rootkits, and Trojan horses. The company says most organisations don't realise that the great majority of email and enterprise-level antivirus solutions on the market today do not properly and proactively protect content residing within SharePoint, leaving companies susceptible to security breaches and a crippling loss of productivity.

DocAve Antivirus is one of several DocAve solutions devoted to ensuring SharePoint environments receive comprehensive protection. DocAve Content Shield for SharePoint scans all content before it is uploaded into SharePoint, verifies it against customisable keywords, phrases, and patterns, and quarantines any data that does not meet the organisation's compliance standards.
