Sanitization involves cleaning or purging files of dangerous hidden active content (for example, malware, macros, javascript, etc.) An example of harmful code could be an invisible and malicious script embedded into a document. Remediation for this requires structural sanitization in order to protect the organization from potential harm.

Documents with embedded Active Content exists everywhere. Its purpose is to provide the user with a more interactive experience. Cyber-terrorists, however, insert their own active content into either purpose-built or compromised documents – for example in MS Office orPDF documents distributed as email attachments.

Based on analysis result you then have the option either to remove the active content and deliver the sanitized document or to block the entire document.
