MetaDefender: Advanced Cyberthreat Prevention for File Transfer Security

MetaDefender software solution utilizes multi-scanning engines to detect malware, vulnerabilities, and data breaches in files uploaded and downloaded, providing enhanced file transfer security.

What is MetaDefender?

MetaDefender is a cybersecurity software platform used by organizations for preventing cyberthreats within files that are transferred digitally. It scans and sanitizes files by utilizing up to 30 anti-malware engines to detect known and zero-day malware, vulnerabilities, and data breaches.

When a file is uploaded to a system with MetaDefender installed, MetaDefender intercepts the file and runs it through all its scanning engines to check for threats. It looks for viruses, worms, trojans, ransomware, spyware, vulnerabilities like missing security patches, sensitive data like credit card numbers, inappropriate images, and more. Any threats detected are either blocked entirely from the system or sanitized automatically if possible.

If no issues are found, MetaDefender allows the file through to its originally intended destination. This helps protect networks and systems from infections while maintaining business flows. Audit trails are provided for compliance and forensic investigation needs.

MetaDefender provides scanning engines from top cybersecurity vendors like Bitdefender, ESET, Avira, McAfee, Microsoft, Cylance, and others. Its multi-scanning approach for every file significantly improves threat detection rates compared to single engine solutions.

MetaDefender is available as on-premise software, cloudhosted service, or Outlook email security plug-in. It integrates with common systems and applications to simplify security operations.
