Google Drive

Overview

Google Drive is a cloud storage system that allows file sharing and collaboration. Avanan adds security, privacy, and compliance to Google Drive by scanning files shared in Google Drive for malicious content and data loss prevention (DLP) and generates actionable events on malicious content.

How it works

Avanan adds a layer of security that provides these security features for Google Drive:

• Data Leak Prevention (DLP): Protecting uploaded files containing sensitive data

• Anti-Malware: Scanning of files for malicious content

• Remediation: Quarantine malicious files and files containing sensitive data.

Avanan scans files in the following scenarios:

• A new file is created

• A file is uploaded

• A file is modified (edited)

• A file or directory is shared with new members
