Thank you for your feedback. This functionality is offered by security partners. Symantec has released the support on Azure Blob Storage. Please refer to the partner website for detailed information.

As of 8/24/2020, the status of this suggestion is listed as *Started* and security partners can also provide this capability. Additionally, as of 6/30/2020 Threat protection in Azure Security Center has the ability to alert when Potential malware uploaded (this is a native Azure capability) - see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/security-center/threat-protection#threat-protection-for-azure-storage- (include the trailing "-" in the URL)
Back to the status of *Started* for this request: Is more coming in the native platform (in addition to what is included today in Threat protection in Azure Security Center) and can you provide any details? Thanks!

Are there any updates on this? Do we now have a Microsoft solution for malware protection?

We are having this requirement as well for an application that we have developed. This would be a great product if Microsoft can either build a solution in Azure or team up with one of the big players such as McAfee (Skyhigh) or Symantec ( Cloud workload).

Look at http://www.attachmentscanner.com
I used them and it works pretty nicely. I looked at VirusTotal but the entry level price is a tad expensive. Both solutions worked really nicely.

It is a shame this has been denied. This feature would add further value. For many of my clients.
