OPSWAT, a global leader in critical infrastructure protection (CIP) cybersecurity solutions, recently launched MetaDefender Cloud in Australia. The expansion meets growing customer demand in the APAC region, including Australia and New Zealand, and allows organizations to stay compliant with the data sovereignty laws of their respective countries. OPSWAT is excited to increase its cloud security footprint outside America and Europe, providing secure and private file processing.
Having a solution to file-based threats that guarantees data sovereignty and complies with regional laws and regulations is crucial. With the new instance of MetaDefender Cloud in Australia, OPSWAT provides a platform that ensures data sovereignty and empowers businesses across APAC to securely and compliantly process files.
File-based threats have significantly increased over the last few years and are among the top threats that penetration testers look at when performing risk assessments. Research shows that organizations relying on a single-engine solution are not secured against the new, unknown malware variants.
MetaDefender Cloud protects against known and unknown malware using advanced data sanitization and scanning files with multiple antimalware engines, enabling customers to quickly and easily find and remove threats before they enter a network, including files uploaded to Salesforce environments.
Our Multiscanning technology simultaneously scans files with engines from over twenty leading antimalware vendors. Combining signatures, heuristics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning from many vendors significantly improves detection rates compared to single-engine solutions. Moreover, the global distribution of vendors provides greater visibility into geo-based, localized attacks that may originate from a nation-state. Multiscanning provides earlier detection with faster, more frequent engine updates than single-engine solutions.
MetaDefender Cloud takes detection one step further. It disarms and reconstructs files with an extra layer of defence. Deep Content Disarm and Reconstruction (Deep CDR) helps prevent file-based, zero-day exploits from entering an environment. It reconstructs safe files, retaining user-created content while removing potentially malicious content, including macros, JavaScript, or malicious links.
Deep CDR supports many file types, including sensitive DICOM files for medical imaging in X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, and ultrasounds. Proven to protect customers against ransomware and steganography-based attacks, it effectively disables an attacker’s deployment method, breaking the kill chain.
OPSWAT MetaDefender Cloud uses Multiscanning and Deep CDR to provide complete security coverage against known and unknown threats. Any business or organization across the APAC region, including Australia and New Zealand, can now secure file uploads ensuring data sovereignty and privacy.
