Key Features of Kaspersky Scan Engine

Kaspersky Scan Engine can work in Windows & Linux environments in one of two modes:

REST-like service that receives HTTP requests from client apps, scans objects passed in these requests, and sends back HTTP responses with scan results.

ICAP server that scans HTTP traffic that passes through a proxy server / NAS / Web Application Firewall / NGFW / any other solutions communicating through ICAP protocol. This integration model also allows scanning the URLs requested by users; web pages with malicious, phishing or adware content are then filtered out.

Kaspersky Scan Engine is also available as a Linux Docker container (in HTTP & ICAP mode). It can be deployed as an individual container, to Docker Swarm, to Kubernetes, to AWS EKS, and any similar cloud environments.

Kaspersky Scan Engine includes a web-based graphical user interface that allows you to easily configure the product behavior, review its service events and scan results.
