The feature is now generally available and will be rolled out to existing customers by the end of March 2024. It allows users to scan files up to 15 MB in size for potential malware, with improvements made to the dashboard visibility and overall analytics experience. WAF Content Scanning operates in stages, including activation and configuration, scanning engine detection, integration with WAF, and handling of file types and limitations. The feature is available as an add-on license for Enterprise WAF customers.
