MetaDefender Storage Security™ has been strategically integrated with NetApp storage systems, offering customers unparalleled protection against sophisticated cyberthreats. MetaDefender Storage Security provides comprehensive file security capabilities, safeguarding NetApp storage environments from malware, zero-day threats, and data breaches.
About NetApp
NetApp is a global, cloud-led, data-centric software company that empowers organizations to lead with data in the age of accelerated digital transformation. The company provides systems, software, and cloud services that enable them to run their applications optimally from data center to cloud, whether they are developing in the cloud, moving to the cloud, or creating their own cloudlike experiences on premises. With solutions that perform across diverse environments, NetApp helps organizations build their own data fabric and securely deliver the right data, services, and applications to the right people—anytime, anywhere.
Integrating MetaDefender Storage Security with NetApp
MetaDefender Storage Security natively integrates with NetApp through ONTAP to secure NetApp storage while offering a unified, integrated solution to NetApp users. Our solution provides enterprise-class features to protect at scale with an easy-to-use GUI and RESTful API interface for quick integration into existing workflows.
Through multiple layers of MetaDefender technologies, files undergo thorough inspection for vulnerabilities, zero-day threats, and compliance issues. For operational efficiency, you can schedule on-demand file scans using the polling process.
In addition to native integration with NetApp ONTAP, MetaDefender Storage Security also supports other integration options such as Server Message Block (SMB), Network File System (NFS), and SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP). This flexibility allows you to integrate our solution into your existing infrastructure, regardless of your specific deployment requirements.
Strengthen Your Security Posture with MetaDefender Storage Security + NetApp
MetaDefender Storage Security integration with NetApp seamlessly improves organizations’ operational efficiency and security posture with the following benefits:
Advanced Threat Detection
Scan files with over 30 anti-malware engines, which employ a combination of signature-based detection, heuristics, and machine learning to greatly improve detection rates, reduce outbreak times, and achieve a near-zero exposure rate.
Zero-day Threat Prevention
Disarm potentially malicious and out-of-policy content hidden in files with support for over 150 commonly used productivity file types. Deep CDR™ goes beyond traditional CDR (content disarm and reconstruction) because it can recursively sanitize multi-level nested archives and file formats that support archiving, such as PDFs and Microsoft Office documents.
Compliance Risk Mitigation
Proactive DLP aids compliance with data regulations and security requirements such as PCI, HIPAA, Gramm-Leach-Bliley, and FINRA, by automatically redacting, removing, watermarking, or blocking sensitive data in files.
All-in-one Portal
MetaDefender Storage Security further integrates into your existing workflow and scans files in real-time or on-demand via RESTful API.
Streamlined Classification
Rapidly categorize content with easy-to-use tagging features, such as flagging potential threats with a dedicated <tag> for expedited investigation and forensic analysis.
Automated File Remediation
Sanitize, copy, delete and move files to “allowed” or “blocked” buckets automatically.
Intuitive User Control
Easy-to-use GUI lets you configure and start scanning without relying on storage administrators.
