Is Your Cybersecurity Strategy Upside Down?
Attackers now generate malware variants at a pace no single detection engine can match. Our AI-powered, prevention-first platform stacks defenses in layers at the point of entry, so protection compounds with every layer while files keep moving at operational speed.
For more than 20 years, governments and critical infrastructure operators worldwide have trusted the MetaDefender™ Platform to protect their most sensitive systems. Watch every layer run on live equipment inside our Mini Critical Infrastructure Protection Lab, making its Singapore debut at booth S13.
Experience Our Mini Critical Infrastructure Protection Lab
Step inside the compact edition of our 20-foot Critical Infrastructure Protection Lab and watch layered defense operate on live equipment. Follow a weaponized file through Metascan™ Multiscanning and Deep CDR™ Technology, then see it emerge rebuilt and safe seconds later. Our engineers will walk you through every stage and take the hardest questions about your own environment.

Benny Czarny
Benny Czarny is the Founder, CEO, and Chairman of the Board of OPSWAT, a global cybersecurity company securing the world’s most critical infrastructure through a prevention-first philosophy: trust no file, trust no device.
Benny founded OPSWAT in 2002 from a small apartment in San Francisco with a bold vision — to reinvent cybersecurity by focusing on prevention instead of detection. With no outside investment, he bootstrapped OPSWAT from a one-person startup into a global organization with more than a thousand employees, serving thousands of enterprise and government customers in over 100 countries.
Under his leadership, OPSWAT has pioneered Deep CDR™ Technology (Content Disarm and Reconstruction) technology and other breakthrough innovations, including Metascan™ multiscanning, secure file transfer, and advanced sandboxing. These technologies are now trusted to protect mission-critical systems across energy, defense, transportation, finance, and government sectors, helping prevent catastrophic breaches before they occur.
With over two decades of expertise in encryption, vulnerability management, and secure architecture, Benny is recognized as one of the world’s leading advocates for Data Sanitization and Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP). His work has helped shift the global cybersecurity mindset from reactive detection to proactive prevention, positioning OPSWAT at the forefront of protecting the systems that power modern civilization.
As both CEO and Chairman, Benny continues to drive OPSWAT’s long-term strategy, product innovation, and culture of execution. He remains deeply involved in the company’s technology roadmap, guiding its evolution toward a world where every file and device entering a secure network is verifiably safe.
Benny’s leadership style is grounded in curiosity, conviction, and hands-on innovation. From bootstrapping OPSWAT’s first product to leading a global organization shaping cybersecurity policy and defense standards, he has built a company defined not by fear of threats but by confidence in prevention. His mission remains clear: to eliminate cyber threats before they can execute and make prevention the foundation of digital trust worldwide.
