OPSWAT is excited to announce MetaDefender Drive™ v4.3.2, scheduled for release on June 11, 2025. This release includes enhancements focused on seamless product integration and reporting, improved USB speed visibility, cleaner, audit-friendly report, and robust scanning for large files.
Key Updates in MetaDefender Drive v4.3.2
Seamless Product Integration and Reporting via MetaDefender Kiosk™
For remote and isolated environments where internet access is limited, MetaDefender Drive now supports central management with automated report syncing. Scan reports can now be automatically uploaded to My OPSWAT Central Management server when MetaDefender Drive is plugged into a MetaDefender Kiosk with on-premises integration and no internet connection.
This update aims to simplify scanning workflows within air-gapped zones for smoother operations.
USB Port Speed Visibility for Performance Awareness
The user interface now shows the USB port type MetaDefender Drive is inserted into during device boot, such as USB 3.0. With this improved visibility into physical connection types, users can better anticipate data transfer speeds and ensure optimized scan performance.
Efficient Large File Handling
MetaDefender Drive has been upgraded with an expanded internal storage capacity. This improvement ensures robust scans for large files and complex archives, without manual intervention or system slowdowns.
Improved File Path Review in Scan Reports
Scan reports now display clearer and more readable file paths, with extended support for original file names containing non-standard characters. This enhancement improves report readability and ensures that all exported reports are well-formatted and audit friendly.
Self-Signed Chain Certificates for Enhanced Security
MetaDefender Drive now supports self-signed chain certificates, allowing your organization to securely connect to My OPSWAT Central Management using internal TLS/SSL certificates. This enhancement enables organizations to operate without relying on external Root CAs, offering greater control over their security infrastructure and streamlining certificate management.
MetaDefender Drive Toolkit v3.7.2
Along with the MetaDefender Drive v4.3.2 release, MetaDefender Drive Toolkit v3.7.2 introduces new enhancements that enhance UI usability, security and user experience:
Improved Security
Updated third-party libraries for enhanced and secure operations.
Optimized Install Package
Drive Toolkit now uses a single, smaller install package for both USB and Digital Display devices, eliminating confusion from multiple download stages and providing a more seamless experience.
Streamlined Flashing Workflow
User interface showing unformatted MetaDefender Drives only in the Flashing tab for clearer, more focused workflows.
