Security should adapt to your environment – not the other way around.
The diversity of modern IT environments means that a flexible approach to security deployment is essential, and OPSWAT recognizes this need. Now, OPSWAT customers can integrate their network security devices with the MetaDefender platform via the internet content adaptation protocol (ICAP) to protect on-premises, hybrid, and cloud-based environments. Whether you’re operating in a traditional data center, managing containerized applications, or fully leveraging cloud services, there is a deployment option that fits MetaDefender ICAP Server seamlessly into your setup.
Avoid One-Size-Fits-All Security
Businesses are diverse, each with unique operational models and challenges.
Security technologies, particularly for web applications, have gained traction across the board – from firewalls and threat intelligence to disaster recovery and crisis response solutions. As more applications migrate to cloud platforms, organizations have been investing in data and application security, according to Gartner. In fact, hybrid and multicloud operations have become the new normal, as 88% of organizations now operate in multi-deployment models.
To meet these increasingly complex challenges, a defense-in-depth security approach is required to efficiently secure and optimize digital services deployed across these environments.
We have expanded our capabilities to support deployment in the cloud for the MetaDefender platform, specifically via ICAP. Explore our latest deployment for cloud security, MetaDefender ICAP Cloud.

Cloud: Software as a Service (SaaS)
Cloud/SaaS deployment is ideal for small-to-medium businesses seeking simplicity and cost efficiency. This option provides instant access to software and services while maintaining robust security capabilities.
Cloud deployment offers businesses the ability to reduce overhead costs while scaling their security effortlessly. By integrating smoothly with existing infrastructure, this full-SaaS option reduces the burden on IT teams, allowing them to focus on other critical tasks. It’s also a great fit for organizations with limited IT resources that prefer to focus on core business activities rather than managing infrastructure.
Ease of Use
Enables quick deployment with minimal setup time, reducing initial costs.
High Availability
Built-in features minimize service disruption risks.
Automatic Updates
Ensures the latest features and security patches are always in place.
Simplicity and Cost Efficiency
Consumption-based pricing allows flexibility and reduces the need for in-house IT management.
Virtual Machines: On-Premises Deployment
For organizations that prioritize control over their infrastructure and data, on-premises deployment via virtual machines (VMs) offers the ideal solution. This option is particularly beneficial for industries with strict data protection regulations, as it allows sensitive data to remain on-premises and ensures compliance while reducing latency by processing data close to its source.
Security Compliance
Data remains on-premises to help meet data protection regulations.
Reduced Latency
Improves performance by processing data close to its source.
Full Control
Provides complete control over infrastructure and configurations.
Customizable
Allows for tailored security solutions to meet specific operational requirements.
Kubernetes: On-Premises and Hybrid Deployment
For enterprises managing modern architecture, distributed applications, and containerized workloads, Kubernetes deployment offers a flexible and scalable solution.
Deploying MetaDefender ICAP Server instances in containerized environments allows for high availability, scalability, and automation. This is an excellent choice for businesses needing to manage complex, distributed environments, or looking to modernize their security applications by leveraging containerization.
To help businesses scale security to fit their microservices architecture, MetaDefender ICAP Server supports deployment across major container environments, including AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), and Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE).
High Availability and Scalability
Automatically scales to meet business demands.
Self-Healing
Ensures reliable file scanning uptime through disaster recovery mechanisms.
Automation
Facilitates automated deployment, scaling, and operations of MetaDefender application containers.
Flexibility
Seamlessly deploys MetaDefender ICAP Server across on-premises, cloud, or hybrid environments.
Achieve Robust File Security Without Limits
The MetaDefender ICAP Server’s flexible deployment options ensure that organizations can adapt their security to their unique infrastructure. Whether choosing on-premises, hybrid, or cloud deployment, businesses can have confidence in robust, adaptable security that seamlessly aligns with their operational needs.
By supporting tailored deployment options, MetaDefender ICAP Server complements and supports your operations, instead of creating inefficiencies and unnecessary complexities that might increase overhead or interrupt IT operational continuity.
