Our powerful MetaDefender data sanitization (Content Disarm and Reconstruction) technology is intended to keep any organization safe from document-borne malware, malware-carrying images, and other infected files. We are excited to announce the beta release of data sanitization (CDR) for Linux® to extend this protection to Linux systems.
With this beta release of Linux data sanitization, MetaDefender will be able to protect even more endpoints and systems.
Currently, we support 10 different file types on Linux: DOC, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, PDF, JPG, BMP, PNG, TIFF, and GIF.
The table below shows the file types and file type conversions supported for this beta release:
