Managing security across critical infrastructure environments requires unified control and operational clarity. This quarter, My OPSWAT Central Management delivers enhancements that strengthen visibility, simplify administration, and support proactive security management.
These updates ensure teams can maintain a secure, compliant, and highly available MetaDefender ecosystem, all from a single console.
New Product Integration: MetaDefender Aether
We’ve expanded our integration with MetaDefender Aether (formerly known as Metadefender Sandbox), our next‑generation sandbox with built‑in threat intelligence, to bring its operational signals directly into our management console.
Administrators can now view the connection status, license status, and health status of MetaDefender Aether alongside all other managed components. This integration extends centralized monitoring to Aether deployments, reducing the need to manage separate consoles and improving operational awareness.
Streamlined Certificate Management
Managing certificates is critical for keeping systems trusted and secure, but often difficult to oversee at scale. This quarter, My OPSWAT Central Management introduces unified certificate management for:
- MetaDefender Kiosk (v4.7.11+)
- MetaDefender Core (v5.16.1+)
This allows administrators to update and validate certificates directly within the console. This capability is currently available for My OPSWAT Central Management on-premises.
The platform also now provides configurable alerts when SSL/TLS certificates approach expiration, helping teams prevent service interruptions and maintain secure, trusted communication.
Enhanced Monitoring Dashboards
Visibility is essential for effective security operations, and this release introduces several enhancements that make monitoring easier and more actionable.
Malware Scan Detection Summary
A new Malware Scan Detection widget on the Endpoint Security dashboard gives teams a real‑time view of malware scan results across all devices. This high‑level visibility helps security teams identify trends quickly and supports faster response to emerging threats.
New ICAP Monitoring Dashboard
Our management console now includes a dedicated ICAP Dashboard, giving organizations a much clearer view of ICAP instance health, connectivity, and processing behavior. With system status and activity trends displayed in one place, administrators can more effectively monitor ICAP‑based file security workflows across distributed fleets.
A Richer MetaDefender Core Dashboard
As file security environments scale, visibility across multiple scanning engines becomes critical. The MetaDefender Core dashboard has been enhanced to provide richer, more actionable information for environments running multiple Core instances.
These improvements help administrators understand system status and processing patterns more quickly, supporting better capacity planning and operational decisions.
Operational Improvements That Support Scale
Data Migration from CM7 and CM8 to CM10
For organizations upgrading to the latest platform, maintaining historical data integrity is essential for compliance and operations. We now support the migration of processing history data from My OPSWAT Central Management version 7 and version 8 to version 10*.
This ensures the preservation of historical records and continuity for audit and analysis purposes during the transition to the new centralized platform.
*This is supported in on‑premises deployments of My OPSWAT Central Management.
Endpoint Reboot Control
Admins can now remotely reboot specific endpoints, ensuring updates and configuration changes take effect without relying on user action. This helps maintain compliance, reduces downtime, and supports faster incident response.
PDF Scan Reports for Kiosk & Drive
Kiosk and Drive scan reports can now be viewed in PDF format, making them easier to share or store for compliance needs.
