The IKARUS Malware Scan Engine is an anti-malware technology designed for OEM integration into third-party systems, products, and services via SDKs and APIs. Its purpose is to detect and analyze malware, vulnerabilities, and exploits within files, archives, and communication channels to secure environments like file-sharing platforms, cloud services, and Unified Threat Management solutions. It is architected to be globally scalable for high data volumes and receives ongoing updates for its virus databases and core scanning components.
The engine supports connected and air-gapped systems across multiple operating systems and CPU architectures. Its technical capabilities include multi-stage scanning, behavioral analysis, multi-sandbox integration, and unlimited recursion depth for archives. These defense mechanisms are used to identify and mitigate known malware, sophisticated targeted attacks, and Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs).
