icône glimps malware for data security

Intelligent protection for data at rest and in transit

Multi-engine AI detection

More than 25 static analysis engines identify zero-day threats, variants, and APTs hidden in your files in under 3 seconds.

Automatic quarantine and remediation

With the Host Connector, malicious files detected on your servers are automatically isolated in quarantine before they spread. Through ICAP or API, the source solution applies the appropriate action (block, alert, delete) based on the GLIMPS verdict.

Transparent deployment

Integration via Host Connector, ICAP protocol, or REST API depending on your infrastructure, with no impact on user productivity.

Up to 2 million files/day

Massive analysis capacity for the largest environments: NAS, shared file servers, and secure transfer gateways.

How does GLIMPS secure your storage environments?

GLIMPS Malware for Data Security integrates into your storage infrastructure through three complementary modes:

Host Connector: A lightweight agent installed on your servers (Linux or Windows) that monitors your folders in real time. As soon as a file is created or modified, it is automatically submitted to the GLIMPS Malware API for analysis. If a threat is detected, the file is moved to quarantine. In gateway mode (SAS), only clean files are transferred to the destination folder, along with a safety report.

ICAP connector: Available as encrypted ICAPS hosted as SaaS by GLIMPS, the ICAP connector translates ICAP requests into HTTPS calls to the GLIMPS Malware API. Ideal for third-party ICAP-compatible solutions such as Nextcloud, NAS (Dell Isilon…), and bastions (Wallix). The source solution handles remediation based on the verdict returned by GLIMPS. The connector can also be deployed on-premise as a lightweight Docker image.

REST API: The GLIMPS Malware API lets you submit files directly from automation scripts or internal platforms for custom integration. The caller implements processing logic based on the returned verdict.

All analysis results are centralized and available in GLIMPS Malware Expert for deep investigation, triage, and retrohunt.

Capabilities that make the difference

Proprietary AI analysis

Every submitted file — via Host Connector, ICAP, or API — is analyzed by more than 25 static engines including Deep Learning, Machine Learning, LLM, antivirus engines, and YARA rules. All file formats and programming languages are supported. Verdict delivered in under 3 seconds.

Quarantine and cleanup (Host Connector)

Automatic quarantine for malicious files with restore capability. SAS decontamination mode to transfer only clean files between two zones, generating a safety report in PDF format for each session. These capabilities are specific to the Host Connector.

Archive extraction (Host Connector)

Automatic extraction of archives (ZIP, RAR, 7Z, ISO, OVA…) with no size limit before submission. If a malicious file is detected inside an archive, the whole archive is quarantined. Through ICAP or API, the file is submitted as-is and analyzed by GLIMPS engines.

Centralized administration

Connector Manager provides a single portal to deploy, configure, and monitor your connectors (Host Connector, ICAP, SentinelOne, SharePoint/OneDrive). Quarantine management for Host Connector and SharePoint/OneDrive, activity logs, SYSLOG alerts, and a direct link to GLIMPS Malware Expert for investigation.

GLIMPS Malware for Data Security: who is it for?

Context: You manage file servers, NAS, or Nextcloud environments and must ensure the integrity of stored data.

What GLIMPS delivers: Automatic, transparent protection for storage environments. Host Connector provides quarantine on your servers, while the ICAP connector integrates natively with Nextcloud and ICAP-compatible NAS.

Context: You must reduce your organization’s attack surface and address compliance requirements such as NIS2 and GDPR.

What GLIMPS delivers: Full visibility into threats across your file flows, with a sovereign European solution that centralizes detection and investigation. Integrates via API into existing workflows.

Context: You operate classified environments where every file transfer must be sanitized before entering a trusted zone.

What GLIMPS delivers: Host Connector combined with a data diode forms a multi-level sanitization gateway to secure transfers between zones with different sensitivity levels. GLIMPS provides a proven integration with Thalès ELIPS Gateway diodes, including automated updates in isolated environments, up to Secret Défense levels, NATO, and EU.

Frequently asked questions

Three integration modes are available. Host Connector is an agent installed on Linux or Windows servers that monitors your folders and manages quarantine. The ICAP connector, available as encrypted ICAPS hosted as SaaS by GLIMPS, sits between ICAP-compatible solutions such as Nextcloud or Dell Isilon; it can also be deployed on-premise as a lightweight Docker image. The REST API lets you integrate analysis directly into automation scripts or internal platforms. No change to your network architecture is required.

GLIMPS analyzes all file types and programming languages. Host Connector automatically extracts ZIP, RAR, 7Z, GZ, TAR, ISO, and OVA archives before submission, with no size limit. Through ICAP or API, the file is submitted as-is and analyzed by GLIMPS engines.

Yes. GLIMPS Malware for Data Security is available as SaaS (hosted in France), on-premise, and in SecNumCloud environments. Features and performance are identical regardless of deployment mode. The ICAP connector in encrypted ICAPS mode can be hosted as SaaS by GLIMPS or deployed on-premise as a lightweight Docker image.

Yes. Host Connector combined with a data diode enables a multi-level sanitization gateway. GLIMPS provides an integration with Thalès ELIPS Secure Diode and ELIPS Gateway for file transfer sanitization in classified environments, from Diffusion Restreinte up to French Secret Défense, NATO Secret, and EU Secret. Platform updates are automated through the diode.

GLIMPS Malware can process up to 2 million files per day. Each analysis takes about 3 seconds on average regardless of integration mode. A caching system prevents resubmission of already analyzed files to optimize performance.
