Sophos installation on Docker container for scanning file to get scan result.

Hi Dipti,

Thanks for reaching out to the Sophos Community Forum. 

I see that Sophos Cloud Optix is able to scan Docker Hub registries, will this work for your needs? 
- Container image scanning

Another option would be to use custom API scripting along with the Sophos Intelix solution to scan files.
- Sophos Labs Intelix API

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I am going through the details to see if it is useful for our needs.

Can I get technical help to use it for POC at our end and make it successful? Please let me know the mail contacts.

Thanks

Dipti

Hi,

It seems there is limitation for file size of 100MB for scanning here with Rest API in Sophos Labs Intelix API .

I need scanning of files having file size till in tera bytes.

Is there any standalone sophos product which scans files with size in tera bytes and can support install on linux docker containers?

Please provide me inputs ..Thanks in advance.

Thanks

Dipti

Hi Dipti Chavan ,

I found this relevant article in regard to the on-access scanning of files within Docker containers.

- Sophos Anti-Virus for Linux: Unable to provide on-access scanning of files within Docker containers

It's recommended to use Fanotify for on-access protection of the host file systems in Linux environments, which include Docker containers. However, the Fanotify module does not offer on-access scanning within the Docker containers, just the host platform.
