Q&A: Does the Silverline WAF service provide antivirus scanning functionality?

Question

• We are planning to leverage an application for mass file uploads and want to know more about antivirus solutions from Silverline WAF.
• Is there any antivirus solution that can be integrated into the F5 WAF to scan the file before it reaches our backend server?

Environment

• Silverline WAF
• Policy/Policies
• Proxy/Proxies

Answer

• Silverline doesn’t provide any AV scanning capabilities for customers, therefore it's not a feature we currently support.
• In a limited extent we scan for common exploitation techniques like Buffer overflow, used by malware.
