Protect your business from file-based threats
87% of ransomware is delivered via malicious documents. Our Content Disarm and Reconstruct (CDR) API removes hidden threats while preserving document functionality.
"Red Eagle's CDR API gave us peace of mind when handling client document uploads."

How Content Disarm and Reconstruction works
A proactive security approach that treats every file as potentially dangerous
Key benefits of our CDR API
Add enterprise-grade document security to your applications with minimal effort
True zero-day protection
Unlike traditional antivirus that relies on signatures, CDR removes threats regardless of whether they've been seen before, providing protection against even the newest attacks.
Simple API integration
Add document security to your applications with our easy-to-use REST API. Submit files for cleaning, track progress, and retrieve sanitised files with just a few lines of code.
Document usability
Our CDR process preserves the functionality and appearance of documents while removing only the potentially harmful elements, ensuring a seamless experience for end users.
Fully managed service
No infrastructure to maintain or security engines to update. Our cloud-based service is always up-to-date, available, and ready to protect your documents.
High performance
Process files quickly with our scalable architecture. Most documents are sanitised in less than a minute, allowing for smooth integration into your workflows.
Wide format support
Support for all major document and image formats including Microsoft Office documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), PDFs, and common image types (JPG/JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, TIF/TIFF). Protect your users regardless of file type.
Common use cases
Protect your organisation wherever documents are handled
File Upload Portals
Sanitise documents uploaded by customers, partners, or employees before storing them in your systems. Prevent malicious files from entering your environment through web applications.
Email Attachments
Clean email attachments before they reach users' inboxes. Integrate with your email gateway or mail processing workflow to neutralise threats before they can be opened.
Supply Chain Security
Secure document exchange between organisations. Ensure that files shared with partners, vendors, or customers are free from malware without affecting document functionality.
Document Management Systems
Integrate CDR with your document management or content management system to ensure all stored documents are sanitised, protecting your users whenever they access files.
