Glasswall Launches New Capability to Protect Files in the Cloud

Provider of intelligent Zero Trust file protection solutions in both the business-to-government (B2G) and business-to-business (B2B) sectors, Glasswall, has announced the launch of Glasswall Storage Monitoring. 

Protecting files in cloud collaboration platforms

The new capability, Glasswall Storage Monitoring, is built within its Content Disarm and Reconstruction (CDR) platform to protect files stored and shared across cloud collaboration platforms.

The solution operates in real time and automatically sanitizes files as soon as they enter environments such as Microsoft SharePoint and OneDrive to ensure organizations remain protected from malicious content that can lie undetected in cloud repositories.

Once a file is uploaded to a supported Microsoft 365 service, the system downloads it, sends it to the Glasswall Halo platform for sanitization, and replaces the original with a clean, fully functional version.

“Research shows that nearly one in three data breaches begin with a malicious file, organizations think they’re protected, but stored files often bypass detection until it’s too late,” said Paul Farrington, Glasswell Chief Product Officer. “With collaboration tools now central to enterprise productivity, the sheer speed of file sharing exposes organizations to significant risk. Traditional detection technologies and manual inspection cannot keep pace.”

Removing threats without disrupting workflows

The solution is designed to operate in the background and not disrupt end users during their day-to-day activities.

Glasswall’s CDR platform operates on a prevention-first principle, removing threats before they become incidents. Files are then rebuilt to a safe standard while retaining their original format and functionality, and administrators retain policy-driven control over how to handle sanitization failures.

“By extending Zero Trust protection to Microsoft 365 environments, we are enabling organizations to ensure that files are continuously monitored, sanitized, and restored to a safe state,” said Farrington. “This brings the same protection trusted by national-security agencies directly to the everyday business user. We’re raising the baseline for what ‘secure collaboration’ should mean.”

Glasswall appoints Phyllis Baker as SVP

This latest solution comes as Glasswall continues to expand across key federal and civilian markets.

The organization recently named Phyllis Baker as Senior Vice President, emphasizing Glasswall’s commitment to delivering trusted, mission-focused file protection solutions in demanding environments.

“Phyllis brings an extremely impressive background in guiding government organizations through transformative technology-led programs,” said Danny Lopez, CEO at Glasswall. “As we continue to expand across federal and military markets, her leadership will broaden our ability to safeguard mission-critical data in these key sectors.”
