OPSWAT Metadefender - Net-Wall Cybersecurity Products and Services in Montreal

Metadefender is a powerful and flexible security solution for ISVs, IT admins and malware researchers, providing simultaneous access to multiple anti-malware engines, signature and heuristic scanning, data sanitization, a Vulnerability Engine, and additional threat protection technologies residing on a single system.

At the heart of the solution, the Metadefender Core multi-scanning engine uses up to 40 anti-malware engines to scan files for threats, significantly increasing malware detection.Metadefender can be used to analyze a large database of files and provide extensive data points about which engines have detected each threat.

It is also easy to use alongside other analysis software, including dynamic analysis solutions, to provide detailed contextual information about files.Metadefender Core can be deployed either online or offline, in secure, air-gapped networks.

Additional Features

Cyber Security APIs

Metadefender exposes a rich set of APIs that can be used to build powerful data sanitization, vulnerability assessment, and multi-scanning features into existing solutions and security architectures.

Our flexible integration options include both REST and COM, making Metadefender an attractive option for a variety of users.

IT administrators make use of these APIs to build Metadefender into their network architecture alongside dynamic analysis solutions, file upload servers, and MFTs. Software developers at ISVs often utilize the APIs to integrate the extra security provided by Metadefender into their development processes.

The available APIs include basic methods for scanning a file and retrieving existing scan results using a SHA1, SHA256, or MD5 hash, as well as methods for rescanning files, downloading previously scanned files, and retrieving the queue size.

APIs are also available for retrieving statistics from Metadefender, including file type information, scan history, recent threats, and server health.

Offline Capabilities

Metadefender is designed with the ability to deploy in offline environments.

We provide mechanisms for downloading and distributing antivirus updates to any offline Metadefender Core servers so that the virus definitions can be kept up-to-date, even in secure, locked-down environments with limited or no network connectivity.

This is important for air-gapped facilities that need to isolate their environment.

In air-gapped environments, customers often use Metadefender with the Metadefender Kiosk to regulate the flow of data into the organization.

Read the Metadefender Kiosk deployment options page for examples of offline deployment setups, or view our offline update configuration video to review the process in detail.

All Metadefender packages also provide the ability to implement an in-house file scanning site, like our Metadefender demo, given certain technical requirements.

This web interface feature can create a complete, static file scanning solution suitable for malware analysis in off-line or locked-down environments, allowing everyone with a web browser in your network to quickly determine the status of a file (clean or infected) as well as the particular threat identified (class of malware, name, engines that detected the threat).

Performance

Metadefender has multiple anti-malware scanning engines embedded within its framework at the API level.

This means that scanning operations are executed from a single system with a high level of performance, which cannot be achieved by simply passing files to separate command-line or GUI based versions of anti-malware products.

Anyone looking to integrate with an anti-malware solution created by Kaspersky Lab or Symantec via API or SDK will find Metadefender to be an ideal security solution.

Central Management

The Metadefender Central Management system provides an easy way to track and manage multiple instances of Metadefender within your network.

With a simple, clear interface, Metadefender Central Management is a centralized console that allows you to view the managed engines on each installation, control online and offline updates, and check license and update status for each managed engine.

Central Management runs on Windows as well as Linux.

Flexible, Scalable Deployment

Metadefender supports a variety of deployment needs with three versions:

On-premises, for situations requiring the utmost in privacy and control, including offline and air-gapped networks
In the cloud at Metadefender.com for easy access to more than 40 anti-malware engines

On-premises, Metadefender can be deployed on both Windows and Linux appliances.

Metadefender supports many different 64-bit Linux distributions, including Debian, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS and Ubuntu.

Metadefender for Linux provides enhanced security features as well as load balancing for high-volume scanning by deploying multiple scan agents with one Metadefender server.

Metadefender for Linux can be used in high-availability deployments using Linux tools such as Heartbeat and Corosync.
