Issue

Environment

  • Liferay SaaS

Resolution

  • Liferay SaaS automatically detects trojans, viruses, malware, and other malicious threats, using ClamAV. This engine operates as a background service within the cloud, and it is not accessible to users or other services. Each cluster in Liferay SaaS has one instance of the antivirus running
  • The default Liferay DXP feature for scanning viruses on file upload cannot be used. Liferay Experience Cloud’s Antivirus solution is used instead. Uploaded content is scanned on a schedule, and thus risks may not be detected immediately when a file is uploaded.
