Trusted platform. Untrusted files.
Teams, SharePoint and OneDrive are where your people share work and where attackers now hide malicious files and links. Advanced Channel Security scans files and the URLs inside them as they’re added or changed on your collaboration and cloud platforms, and quarantines malicious content before anyone opens it.
Staff are trained to be wary of unexpected email attachments, but a file shared in Teams, SharePoint or OneDrive feels safe. Attackers exploit that trust.
Files in shared libraries are synced, opened and re-shared across teams. A single infected document can reach many users before anyone notices.
Mail filtering inspects messages and attachments in transit. It doesn’t automatically inspect files created, uploaded or changed elsewhere in your cloud ecosystem.
Phishing URLs embedded in PDFs, Microsoft 365 documents and archives slip past controls that only look at the file itself and lead straight to credential-harvesting pages.
Guests, suppliers and customers upload files into shared sites, channels and folders. This content never passes through your mail gateway or your endpoint

Advanced Mail Filtering protects the inbox. Advanced Channel Security extends content protection into the supported collaboration and cloud platforms where your people share content.
Once enabled on a supported platform, every file that is added or changed is scanned along with any URLs inside it.
Each file passes through multiple layers of analysis: recursive unpacking to reach content nested inside archives and documents, threat intelligence, phishing detection engines, static signatures and a hardware-assisted sandbox. Malicious files are moved to quarantine, out of reach of your users.
Advanced Channel Services is one layer in CodeBlue’s multilayered cyber security approach, alongside Advanced Mail Filtering, Managed Detection and Response and Managed SIEM.

Extends threat scanning to the collaboration and cloud-storage channels where your people share files every day.
Inspects files and the URLs inside them, not just the file type, when content is added or changed.
Combines recursive unpacking, threat intelligence, phishing engines, static signatures and sandboxing.
Malicious files are moved to quarantine, isolating them from normal user access.
Fits alongside email, identity and endpoint protection as part of CodeBlue’s multilayered defence.

Advanced Channel Security (ACS) is a managed CodeBlue service that scans files and the URLs inside them when they are added or changed on supported collaboration and cloud-storage platforms such as Microsoft Teams, SharePoint and OneDrive. When malicious content is detected, the file is moved to quarantine before users interact with it.
Advanced Channel Security supports Microsoft 365 applications including Teams, SharePoint and OneDrive, as well as Salesforce, AWS S3, Dropbox, Box, Zendesk and Google Drive. Platform availability and licensing prerequisites are confirmed during service scoping.
Collaboration platforms are trusted places for internal and external file sharing, so a harmful file or link shared there attracts less suspicion than an unexpected email. Files uploaded directly to these platforms also don’t pass through your email gateway. ACS adds content scanning to this separate attack path.
Advanced Channel Security inspects files, and URLs contained within files, that are added or changed on a protected platform after the service is enabled.
It uses several detection methods together: recursive unpacking (to inspect files nested inside archives and documents), threat intelligence, phishing detection engines, static signatures and a hardware-assisted sandbox that observes how suspicious content behaves.
The file is moved to quarantine, isolating it from normal user access so it can’t be opened, downloaded or re-shared.
No. Retrospective scanning is not available. Scanning starts once the service is deployed and applies to files added or changed from that point onward. Existing files are scanned if they are later modified.
No. Advanced Mail Filtering protects the email channel, while Advanced Channel Security protects files and links on collaboration and cloud-storage platforms. They cover different routes malicious content can take to reach your users, so they work best together.
No. ACS focuses on content stored in cloud and collaboration platforms. Managed Detection and Response (MDR) watches for suspicious behaviour on devices. Using both gives you separate opportunities to detect and contain an attack.
You need valid licences for each platform you want to protect, such as Microsoft 365 for Teams, SharePoint and OneDrive. Specific prerequisites differ by platform and are checked before the service is scoped and deployed.
