What's this blog post about?

Cloudflare has announced support for malware detection and prevention directly from its edge, providing an additional layer of security for Gateway users against threats on the internet. The new feature enhances protection for employees and data without compromising performance. With this update, administrators can block malicious files from being downloaded onto corporate devices as they pass through Cloudflare's edge for file inspection. This layered approach to security helps protect networks from becoming infected with malware, which can cause significant damage such as ransomware attacks or data exfiltration by spyware. The new feature is included in Teams Standard and Enterprise plans.
