OPSWAT Deep CDR technology has earned another 100% score, this time in SecureIQ Lab’s CDR (Content Disarm and Reconstruction) test. Just months after receiving similar marks from SELabs in a separate independent analysis, these latest results continue to underscore OPSWAT's leadership in Deep CDR innovation and its unwavering commitment to protecting the world’s critical infrastructure.
SecureIQ Lab, a leading independent cybersecurity testing organization, is known for its rigorous evaluations of security products. Their tests are designed to push the boundaries of technology, ensuring that only the most robust solutions can withstand sophisticated threats. In a test designed to challenge the most reliable solutions on the market, OPSWAT Deep CDR not only met these high standards but exceeded them, achieving perfect scores in protection and efficacy, ensuring there is no disruption to workflow.
SecureIQ Lab found that OPSWAT Deep CDR not only couldn't be broken, but that the granularity of configuration provides a level of risk manageability that gives IT practitioners a much-needed boost in their ability to more safely and comfortably maintain the balance of security and business continuity.

OPSWAT Deep CDR is one of the foundational technologies that underpins the MetaDefender Platform, and whether it’s helping prevent threats for File Security, Peripheral Media Protection, Email, or Supply Chain Security, our file sanitization technology is trusted—and proven—to stop threats that others miss. SecureIQ Lab’s thorough testing ensures businesses can trust that our Deep CDR technology offers unmatched protection against the latest cyberthreats.
SecureIQ Lab’s Rigorous Test
Because Deep CDR can recursively process complex file architectures, SecureIQ Lab developed a testing methodology and environment designed to completely tax advanced CDR technology. By obfuscating threats through a series of nested, embedded, and archived files, SecureIQ Lab ensures that their test is comprehensively evaluating the efficacy and accuracy of the CDR technology being assessed.
Key Report Takeaways
In the report, you’ll see how SecureIQLab tested Deep CDR against multiple threat vectors with datasets containing a series of specific filetypes. The result was not only 100% sanitization against hidden macros, trojans, and exploits, but also 100% fidelity scores, ensuring that post-CDR, sanitized files and those deemed benign remained usable.

Content Disarm & Reconstruction: A Vital Defense Mechanism
As cyberthreats become increasingly complex, organizations need tools that go beyond traditional security measures to safeguard their operations. CDR technology is critical in this defense, working by removing potentially malicious code or out-of-policy elements from files while preserving the integrity of the original data. When done correctly, this technology detects and removes known and unknown threats. With this latest independent analysis, OPSWAT Deep CDR solution has now been twice validated as the industry’s most reliable CDR, capable of neutralizing even the most elusive threats.
The Future of Threat Prevention
OPSWAT Deep CDR’s 100% rating from SecureIQ Lab is more than just a recognition: it’s a testament to OPSWAT’s ongoing mission to lead the cybersecurity industry in innovation and effectiveness. As we move forward, OPSWAT will continue to build on this success, delivering solutions that protect against the ever-growing landscape of cyberthreats.
