To protect data against leakage, Kaspersky Security scans files uploaded to SharePoint for data of specific categories. The application determines the format of each file being scanned by analyzing its structure, which defines the way the file is stored or displayed on the screen. The extension of a file may not match its format. The application unpacks archived files down to the 64-th nesting level and scans all embedded objects. The file formats that the application handles are listed below.
