MetaDefender Endpoint for Endpoint Vulnerability and Application Patching

Out-of-date applications can contain critical vulnerabilities that make your devices more susceptible to cyberattack. They present a risk that your personal information can be compromised or result in data breaches for your organization. MetaDefender Endpoint is here to help mitigate such risks using our market leading technologies and is FREE for all. Quickly, MetaDefender Endpoint can detect risky applications and provide remediation options (if applicable) to resolve potential security issues. Our user interface will guide users to understand and remediate the issues.

MetaDefender Endpoint Helps You To Identify and Remediate

  • If your device is running any vulnerable applications
  • If your device is running any out-of-date applications

Additional checks are done automatically, and an alert report will be displayed via your web browser if the client detects issues, such as:

  • Your anti-malware protection is not configured properly
  • Your hard disk is not encrypted
  • Your operating system is not up to date
  • Your device is infected by malware
  • Your device has not been backed up correctly

    Follow the steps below to start using MetaDefender Endpoint and make sure your device is up to date and secure.

    Remediate Your Vulnerable and/or Out-of-date Applications

    You can update out-of-date applications by selecting the applications and clicking on the "Update" option. MetaDefender Endpoint will update the selected applications to the newest version it finds and will notify you when it has completed.

    For vulnerable applications, you may choose to update them (if an update is available) or choose to uninstall them. MetaDefender Endpoint will take care of that even if the application is broken. By selecting the "Uninstall" option, MetaDefender Endpoint will try to remove the applications and their related components. The MetaDefender Endpoint may prompt with an uninstall wizard if needed. You should follow the wizard instructions to finish the uninstallation process.
