Abstract

The technology disclosed relates to a proxy receiving a request to manipulate a data object on an independent object store. The proxy is interposed between a user system from which the request originates and the independent object store. The technology disclosed further relates to the proxy accessing a metadata store that contains object metadata for the data object and retrieving the object metadata. The technology disclosed further relates to the proxy enforcing a policy on the request based on the object metadata. Enforcing the policy further includes enforcing malware detection policies and threat detection policies.
