Document security
The Workfront site prevents viruses and other malicious content from entering the site via documents in the following ways:
How Workfront detects corrupted files
Document scanning is enabled for your organization only upon request.
If document scanning is enabled, files under 25 MB are scanned when they are uploaded. Files over 25 MB are not scanned.
If Workfront detects a corrupted document, Workfront discontinues the upload process and a message appears indicating that the file is corrupt. You also receive an email notification when Workfront detects potentially malicious content and the file is slated for removal.
Corrupted files are removed within 24 hours of detection unless you remove it manually. If you delete a corrupted file, Workfront tracks this action as an update. If you allow Workfront to remove it, then no updates are recorded.
File name restrictions
Files that are uploaded to Workfront cannot contain certain characters in file names. If a file contains any of the following characters in the file name, the characters are removed from the file name when the file is uploaded: ! # % * \ | ' " / ? < > { } [ ].
