Good news – if you have content stored in Azure Files, we now have a public preview of “Advanced Threat Protection for Azure Files”. In English, that means there is first tier anti-malware solution available that you can enable “in the cloud” that will scan from suspicious files stored in Azure Files.
This new “Azure Files support” is technically the same engine that is used to currently protect Azure Storage in the same way so you’ll see the ATP service used interchangably between Azure Storage and Azure Files.
For more information on the public preview, visit the following:
