Abstract
A system, method and computer program for a scanning service is presented. A scanning service compatible with a cloud storage system is configured to receive notifications from a cloud storage service about storage event activity and to access data in the cloud storage service. The scanning service receives a notification regarding storage activity related to a file in the data. After the completion of the storage activity, the scanning service receives the file from the cloud storage service and scans the file. When a determination is made based on the scan that at least a portion of the file should not be distributed then an action is taken with respect to the cloud storage service based on the determination that at least a portion of the file should not be distributed.
