MetaDefender Drive v4.4.1 addresses this challenge of keeping security engines and scan reports up to date in air-gapped environments without introducing operational risk or additional complexity. This release introduces a feature that automatically synchronizes both engines and reports with My OPSWAT Central Management, via MetaDefender Kiosk, without requiring connecting MetaDefender Drive to a workstation or directly to the internet.
Sync Engines and Reports with My OPSWAT Central Management via MetaDefender Kiosk
MetaDefender Drive v4.4.1 offers a streamlined synchronization workflow that allows an enrolled MetaDefender Drive to automatically sync both engine updates and scan reports through a MetaDefender Kiosk. When a MetaDefender Drive that is enrolled in My OPSWAT Central Management is plugged into a MetaDefender Kiosk that is connected to My OPSWAT Central Management, on-premise or connected environment:
- The latest anti-malware engines are automatically synced with My OPSWAT Central Management
- Scan reports are automatically synced with My OPSWAT Central Management
How It Works
The following process is designed to support simple, automated, and well-aligned operational workflows:
- Connect a MetaDefender Drive to a running MetaDefender Kiosk with a My OPSWAT Central Management integration.
- MetaDefender Kiosk detects the inserted MetaDefender Drive and automatically starts engine and report synchronization.
3. The syncing progress with My OPSWAT Central Management will be traceable from the MetaDefender Kiosk interface.
4. After the update, safely unplug MetaDefender Drive and resume operations.
Built for Secure and Scalable Operations
In OT and strictly regulated environments, manual update workflows increase the risk of outdated detection capabilities, inconsistent configurations, and audit gaps. By introducing this automated syncing workflow, organizations gain:
- Consistent engine versions across all enrolled Drives
- Centralized visibility into scan activity and reporting in My OPSWAT
- Reduced operational overhead with automatic synchronization
