Product Overview 

MetaDefender Storage Security offers a robust layer of protection for On-Prem and Cloud Storage. It protects enterprise-stored data from data breaches, downtime, and compliance violations in the cloud and on-premises storage and collaboration solutions.  

MetaDefender Storage Security leverages multiple OPSWAT technologies like Deep CDR™ Technology (Content Disarm and Reconstruction), Multiscanning, and Proactive DLP (Data Loss Prevention) to protect stored files, documents, and images from Zero-Day attacks, advanced threats and sensitive data loss.  

Highlights

This release reflects our ongoing dedication to enhancing the user experience by boosting functionality and system security, as well as improving accessibility. Key updates include integration with Oracle Cloud Object Storage (OCI) via AWS SDK, streamlined single sign-on (SSO) support for MetaDefender Storage Security using Active Directory Federation Services and OpenID Connect, and bolstered API security. 

New enhancements to our Windows native applications

Dynamic Service Orchestration
