Tampa, Fla. – Oct. 14, 2025 – OPSWAT, a global leader in critical infrastructure protection, today announced the integration of its MetaDefender Storage Security™ with NetApp® ONTAP®. This solution brings together OPSWAT’s advanced file security tools with NetApp’s widely adopted storage platforms to help organizations detect and prevent hidden malware, macro threats, sensitive data leakage, and file-borne vulnerabilities before they reach critical applications or users. Without disrupting existing workflows, this delivers advanced file security directly into on-premises, cloud, and hybrid storage environments.

Organizations worldwide move massive volumes of files through the NetApp data platform and our storage systems daily. By adding additional virus scanning capabilities from our partner ecosystem that enforce our position as the most secure storage on the planet, this new solution gives customers more choices in tools to stop file-borne threats before they spread, reduce compliance exposure, and keep critical operations running even as risks evolve.

Vice President, Global Alliances at NetApp

The integration of OPSWAT with NetApp ONTAP provides multi-layered security capabilities for customers including:

  • OPSWAT Metascan™ Multiscanning,
  • Deep CDR™ (content disarm and reconstruction),
