Content Disarm and Reconstruction (CDR) is a highly effective anti-malware technology that disables malware that is hidden in files, through a rigorous deconstruction and reconstruction process. CDR does not rely on detection, therefore it is capable of disarming previously-unseen, zero-day malware. As an API service, CDR file sanitization can be inserted at any point along the organizational data flow, such as between users and the cloud, users and RBI solutions, or between web-portals and data centers.
