Israeli cyber company odix, a world leader in enterprise Content Disarm and Reconstruction (CDR) technology, announced Monday the launch of FileWall, a cybersecurity solution for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs).  The new solution provides effective malware-disarming capabilities against file-based attacks, leveraging cutting-edge technology previously available only for enterprises. 

With 62 percent of cyberattacks targeting SMBs resulting in 60 percent of them going out of business within six months, there was a clear need for a new cybersecurity solution that would enable SMBs to defend themselves at reasonable costs. The FileWall launch uniquely positions odix as an innovator bringing game-changing security protection for the Microsoft 365 users' community.

FileWall was built with sponsorship from the European Commission (Horizon 2020) to provide enterprise-grade CDR malware protection for SMBs. FileWall is a native CDR-based security application for Microsoft Office 365 mailboxes available on Microsoft AppSource. FileWall is designed to run in conjunction with existing Microsoft security solutions, such as Exchange Online Protection and  Advanced Threat Protection, to provide comprehensive content inspection and malware-disarming capabilities against file-based attacks. 

According to the CEO of odix, Dr. Oren Eytan, "FileWall introduces a new paradigm for SMBs, enabling them to consume an enterprise-grade security solution that is activated in an instant and available at an affordable price. FileWall users have already begun to rave about their experience with the service during the last few months. I am excited to say that, due to high user engagement and such a positive rating already from Microsoft 365 admins, we are looking forward to the potential of FileWall to expand cybersecurity coverage for hundreds of millions of users within the broader Microsoft 365 community."   

FileWall safeguards users through the filtration of embedded active content, the enforcement of file type policies on nested files, and the disarming of content within. The cutting-edge products includes advanced and patented algorithms that monitor potential malware hidden in files including new types that are not well-known or still unknown to the cyber community.  The unique approach of odix enables organizational users to safely open files (such as PDF documents, Office, pictures and video) on a daily basis without concern that a new and unknown virus is hidden in one of them. 

Toby Bowers, General Manager, Business Applications Group, Microsoft Corp., said, "We're happy to welcome FileWall to Microsoft AppSource, which gives our customers access to the best solutions available from our extensive partner ecosystem. Microsoft AppSource offers partner solutions such as FileWall from odix to help customers meet their needs faster."
