This article applies to all MetaDefender Endpoint releases deployed on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android systems.

Pro Tip:

The MetaDefender Endpoint is a lightweight, unobtrusive application, designed to run on every device that is being managed by your account on either MetaDefender IT-OT Access or OPSWAT Central Management v7 (OCM).

MetaDefender Endpoint delivers the device’s security status to the OPSWAT servers and, in turn, channels commands from the servers back to the device to resolve any issues.
