MetaDefender Transfer Guard Introduction
Please, notice that the process to update from 1.7.X to 2.0.0 is different than the normal process explained in the Updates section. Please, refer to support in order to update to version 2.0.0.
MetaDefender Transfer Guard provides unilateral inter-zone file transfer across the zones. The zones are referred to as Source (BLUE) and Destination (RED) and are joined by an optic fiber. This fiber facilitates the transfer of non-routable data between the zones. No direct network connection exists and no pertinent network information (IP address, MAC address) is exchanged.
The optical fiber performs galvanic isolation between the two computers. One end of the optical fiber is connected to an optical transmitter on the Transmit side of the computer in the source domain, and the other end of the optical fiber is connected to an optical receiver on the Receive side of the computer in the destination domain.
The laws of physics, therefore, guarantee 100% isolation between the two computers, and eliminate any possibility of data flow through the computers from the untrusted domain to the trusted domain.
