OPSWAT is dedicated to providing the most advanced and effective security solutions for our customers. As part of this commitment, we continuously monitor changes and updates from our partners that could affect the services and features available to our users. Today, we would like to inform you of an update regarding the McAfee Beta DATs service, provided by Trellix, and how it impacts MetaDefender Core.
Discontinuation of Trellix Beta DATs Service
Trellix has officially announced the end of their Hourly Beta DATs service. The decision to end this service is part of Trellix's broader strategy to enhance the quality and reliability of their virus content packages. The Beta DATs service will cease updates on April 26th, 2024, after which the service will be discontinued.
Impact on MetaDefender Core
MetaDefender Core has leveraged the Beta DATs service to provide users with an option for enhanced virus detection capabilities. With the upcoming discontinuation of this service, we will be removing the feature that enabled users to utilize Beta DATs within MetaDefender Core. This change is in line with our commitment to ensure a seamless and secure experience for all our users.
Next Steps for Our Users
With the discontinuation of the Beta DATs service, we want to assure our customers that there is no need for any action on your part. Our team will automatically remove the Beta DATs feature from MetaDefender Core. Following this update, all users will seamlessly transition to utilizing the default features provided by our product. This automatic adjustment ensures that your security measures remain effective and uninterrupted.
For any inquiries or support, please visit our support center. We are here to ensure that your transition is as smooth and secure as possible.
