Visiting the Security Center

The Security Center, accessible to all Retarus customers, is a comprehensive platform designed to enhance threat prevention and facilitate threat assessment. It provides advanced security tools to help you identify and address potential security risks.

Threat Check overview

The Threat Check tool scans files for potential threats using multiple anti-virus engines and advanced sandboxing technology.

Key features

• Multi-engine scanning
  Multiple anti-virus engines analyze files simultaneously.

• Secure sandboxing
  Suspicious files are tested in an isolated environment.

• Easy file upload
  Direct file upload with 10 MB size limit per file.

• Security-first processing
  Files are encrypted during storage and automatically removed after scanning.

Privacy

While Retarus ensures secure handling, file content responsibility remains with the user.

Recommendations for uploads

Upload unzipped files rather than container formats (e.g., archives or complete emails). While malware detection works for container files, the process may take longer due to the need for additional extraction and analysis steps.

Scanning a new file

1. Click Security Center in the left navigation pane.

2. In the Treat Check section, click Select.

3. On the Upload new file screen, click Choose file and navigate to the file you want to check.

4. Wait for the scanning process to complete.
   → Results are displayed once the scan finishes.

Viewing scan history

The Threat Check service includes a history feature, allowing you to review previous scans and their results.

1. Click Security Center in the left navigation pane.

2. In the Treat Check section, click Select.

3. On the Upload new file screen, navigate to the Scan History tab.

4. Review the history of previously scanned files, including results and timestamps.

Password generator

You can create strong, random passwords using Retarus' free Password Generator tool.

Key features

• Adjustable length
  Use the interactive slider to set the desired password length, from short to highly complex passwords.

• Flexible character options
  Choose from a variety of character types to include in your password by toggling the following options:

  • Lowercase letters (a-z)

  • Uppercase letters (A-Z)

  • Numbers (0-9)

  • Special characters (!->?)

  • Spaces (include spaces for additional complexity)

• Data privacy
  Passwords are created locally for maximum security.

Generating a secure password

1. Click Security Center in the left navigation pane.

2. In the Password Generator section, click Select.

3. Use the slider to set the desired password length.

4. Confirm the pre-selected character groups or add more options by clicking on the desired group icons:

   • By default, two character groups are pre-selected to ensure strong password generation.

   • You cannot deactivate a group if it would leave fewer than two groups selected.

   • You can add additional character groups by clicking the respective group icon (e.g., >0-9).

   • Active groups are visually highlighted.

5. View the generated password in the Your Password field.

6. Click the Refresh icon next to the password field to generate a new password if needed.
