OPSWAT Endpoint Security Certification
The OPSWAT Endpoint Security Certification program verifies compatibility and effectiveness of endpoint antimalware and disk encryption products. Its purpose is to certify that applications are compatible with over 100 market-leading access control and encryption solutions (such as OPSWAT MetaDefender Access, Cisco Anyconnect, Omnissa UAG/Horizon, and more) and ensure the effectiveness of these security applications to protect endpoints with a high degree of confidence.
OPSWAT established the Endpoint Security Certification program to enhance the quality and security of the OPSWAT Endpoint Security SDK, MetaDefender Access, MetaDefender Endpoint, and the Security Score client. Together, MetaDefender Access and OPSWAT Endpoint Security SDK protect over 150 million enterprise endpoints.
Certification Levels & Criteria
The Endpoint Security Certification awards Gold- and Platinum-level certification based on two primary criteria:
- Compatibility with access control solutions
- Security effectiveness of products—verifying that products deliver on their claimed features
Benefits of Certification
Mitigate Productivity Loss
Enterprises that have non-certified antimalware and disk encryption applications can face access denial problems and other support issues that impact productivity and user satisfaction. OPSWAT works with both vendors and their customers to prevent these issues through testing and certification. The surest way to attain secure data access is to run an audit of security applications and make sure only certified products are used.
Using non-certified products can result in productivity loss such as:
- Devices can be blocked when using access control solutions
- Support tickets and sales escalations generate organizational headache
Reduce Security Issues
Rogue, misconfigured, or ineffective applications create another blind spot for IT teams. OPSWAT uses methods that verify endpoints' digital hygiene and establish device trust to avoid these operational issues.
Using non-certified products can result in security issues such as:
- The device could be hosting a rogue antimalware product
- The antimalware or disk encryption product may not be configured correctly
- The antimalware or disk encryption product may be ineffective in more secure settings
