Summary:
The Deep Scanner Service (DSS) is a centralized, event-driven malware scanning service for the Xvantage platform. It enables applications and services to scan files from external sources for potential malware before they are processed or distributed. DSS provides consistent security controls, reduces the risk of malware propagation, supports audit and compliance requirements, and eliminates the need for teams to maintain separate custom scanning solutions. DSS integration is mandatory for all applications and services that ingest external files into Xvantage.

Question 1: What is Deep Scanner Service (DSS)?
Answer: Deep Scanner Service is a malware scanning service designed and built for Xvantage platform applications and services to detect malicious files before they are processed or distributed. Applications simply send files to DeepScanner, which triggers event-driven scanning, evaluates scan results, and exposes the scan status for downstream processing.
Question 2: How does DSS help applications detect malicious files?
Answer: DSS delivers a centralized, event-driven malware scanning capability that enables applications to detect malicious files before they are processed or distributed. Applications submit files to DSS, which performs automated malware scanning, evaluates results, and exposes scan status for downstream workflows.
Question 3: What are the key benefits of using the DSS?
Answer: DSS provides the following key benefits:
Improved protection against malware and file-based threats.
Reduced risk of malware propagation across platform services.
Consistent implementation of security controls across applications.
Enhanced support for audit, compliance, and governance requirements.
Simplified adoption through a shared platform service requiring minimal integration effort.
Elimination of the need for individual teams to build and maintain custom scanning solutions.
Question 4: Which applications and services are required to integrate with DSS?
Answer: DSS is a mandatory integration for all applications and services that ingest files from external sources into the Xvantage platform. This ensures consistent malware protection and security validation across all file ingestion paths.
