Kaspersky and ownCloud have announced the start of their technology partnership to integrate Kaspersky Scan Engine with the ownCloud Enterprise collaboration platform.
According to the two companies, the integration is made through open-standard ICAP protocol and offloads scanning to a separate server to maintain performance of the platform, as well as to allow scalability, easy set-up and maintenance.
Data protection remains the most concerning cybersecurity issue for 54% of organisations in the META region.
The partnership between ownCloud and Kaspersky delivers scanning integration with an emphasis on performance and usability.
“Cybersecurity is a trust issue. Our partnership with Kaspersky allows our enterprise customers to do their antivirus scanning themselves on-premise, without compromising sensitive data by sending it to third-party scanning services. Using the ICAP protocol underscores our conviction that open standards are the way to go towards digital sovereignty,” explained Holger Dyroff, COO, ownCloud.
Alexander Karpitsky, Head, Technology Alliances, Kaspersky, said: “Even as hundreds of enterprises are completing their cloud migration, adversaries are stepping up their game and seeking to exploit new opportunities. By partnering with ownCloud, we want to make sure that all the advantages of private cloud technologies come together with the safety and security that can only be provided by a first-class anti-malware solution such as Kaspersky Scan Engine. I am honoured to welcome ownCloud to our growing community of Kaspersky Technology Partners.”
