Cloud Services considers security to be an extremely important aspect of cloud computing and realizes it has not been really explored yet. We noticed that most cloud infrastructure providers offer cloud storage solutions, hence an obvious need for a service that will scan the content of the storage for viruses. Cloud Services and Digital Zone have joined efforts to create a cloud-based virus scanner.

The official press release can be found here.

This virus scanner for cloud storage will be built using Cloud Studio and OSGi Cloud. It will support pluggable scanning engines. It is going to be exposed as a web service and could be integrated with Java, PHP, Ruby, Python and almost any other language.
