Wildfire API for scanning before upload

jannette — Thu, 19 Jun 2025 08:01:35 GMT

Hi,

I want to scan files before they get processed or uploaded to a linux server, if the file is malicious it is blocked from being uploaded, if clean then it gets uploaded and processed.

Cortex XDR Prevent has on-write feature for windows only. I was searching and came across Wildfire API which can help with this. Does anyone have info about this? Where can I get the API and how does it work?

Thank you.
