Situation

Users and automated systems upload files directly to your servers. Your applications open and interpret these files for processing.

Complication

An estimated 1.5% of uploaded files are dangerous to open. Furthermore files can contain unwanted metadata, such as the location a photograph was taken and other personal information. Some files formats, such as PDF, are difficult to process.

Question

How do you make sure your application is able to safely and correctly process a file, without ever having to take the dangerous action of opening it?

Answer

Let your users upload files directly to FireFabric. We will scan the file for viruses, and further strip and transform it according to your needs. The file, and a report about the file’s contents, is then handed over to your application. This automated process takes less than a second to complete.
