Abstract
Malware scanning for network-attached storage systems is provided herein. A data storage system as described herein can include a memory that stores computer executable components and a processor that executes computer executable components stored in the memory. The computer executable components can include a file identification component that obtains an identifier for a target file stored by the data storage system; a lookup component that searches a scan status data structure for a malware scan result corresponding to the identifier for the target file; and a file access component that grants access to the target file in response to the lookup component obtaining the malware scan result from the scan status data structure and the malware scan result indicating that the target file contains no malware.
