What Is "cloud-based Or In-the-cloud" Scanning

Does anyone shed some light on what exactly the "Cloud-Based or In-The-Cloud" Scanning is? What detection techniques (Signature, Heuristics etc) used in it?

  • I will send you a link via pm to an external site with a detailed insight into how cloud tech is utilised in most antivirus products. I am sure the methods behind it and reasoning will be similar in BD's provision.

    Nice to know that your are here and many thanks for that great information.


    By the way I am interested to know why you switched to Bitdefender, which may let us know the hidden pros which are unknown to us. :) ?
