QR Code Sanitization

Votiro supports QR Code sanitization. This is relevant for PDFs and emails containing QR codes.

There are four options when dealing with QR codes:

Ignore - the QR Code is ignored. The file or email is passed on as-is.

Detect QR Codes - detect if there is a QR Code in the file.

Disarm QR Codes - the original QR code is rewritten with the Votiro QR Code.

Block QR Codes - Votiro blocks the QR Code.

The user scans the QR Code.

There will be an indication that the original QR Code was replaced with a Votiro QR Code pointing to the Votiro portal.

The user opens the link and is redirected to the Votiro portal. Votiro analyzes the URL for suspicious activity.

When the analysis completes:

If the URL was determined to be benign, the user will be redirected to the URL.

If the URL was determined as suspicious, the user will receive an indication that a threat was detected.

The file event will indicate if a:

QR Code was detected and was rewritten by Votiro.

Suspicious URL was detected.
