Is there any way I can use YARA rules to search the backups for threats? eg: I want to know if we have malware on our fileserver backups so if i restore I don't re-infect

I have confirmed that we currently do not have YARA rule support.  It is in the roadmap for a future release but currently I do not have an ETA.

Good morning. I do not believe that this is possible but I will reach out to one of our Product Management engineers to confirm.  I will update this case once I have a response.

Hi, it’s been a couple years and would like an update on the ETA now that the cloud threat scan is out.

If YARA is not in the mix yet, it’s hash only?

thanks

As far as I'm aware it is in the making.
