Highlights
Detailed Device Compliance Information
The MetaDefender Access API provides comprehensive endpoint security status by examining the presence and state of installed anti-malware, disk encryption, antiphishing, public file sharing applications, vulnerability and OS patches and updates.
Patented Technologies for Endpoint Security
Our patented cloud access control technologies deploy innovative methods to determine the status of important compliance features, ensuring that only trusted devices are allowed access as well as providing seamless integration into the single sign-on authentication process.
Support for Many Platforms
MetaDefender Access APIs offer market-leading endpoint posture assessment capabilities across Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS platforms. An open source client is also available, which can be used to enforce security for Internet of Things (IoT) devices.
Easy Integration
Our MetaDefender Access device security platform offers a variety of deployment options, including persistent and on-demand agents, with and without evaluated permissions. There is no need to develop your own agent, you can simply integrate with MetaDefender Access at the API level and we will handle the rest.
Flexible Deployment
We offer a cloud-based service to seamlessly support integration with cloud applications. In addition, we offer a component of the platform to partners and customers for on-premises deployments. This component includes the full API and account-based data storage to further increase service resiliency and reduce the overhead of communicating with the cloud.
How to Integrate with MetaDefender Access
The MetaDefender Access device security platform can be used to enhance secure access solutions for both enterprise networks and SaaS applications, such as SSL VPN, IPSEC VPN, network access control (NAC), cloud access security brokers (CASB), and Single Sign-on (SSO). In addition, MetaDefender Access capabilities can be integrated into remote monitoring and management platforms for endpoint compliance visibility. The MetaDefender Access device security platform offers the following integration options:
Integration using OAuth API
With this integration option, your solution will query the device status on MetaDefender Access via our OAuth API, make the decision to allow or deny access, and if applicable show an error message to end users.
Developers can use device MAC addresses or device IDs to query device health and compliance status via the OAuth API. The MetaDefender Access agent generates unique identities for each device, and offers multiple mechanisms, such as browser cookies, client certificates, and cross-domain APIs, to communicate the device ID to the integrated third-party solution.

Omnissa and OPSWAT Integration
An example of this type of integration is Omnissa’s integration of MetaDefender Access to enforce device compliance before allowing access to their Omnissa Horizon service that provides users with virtual desktops and applications.
Integration with IdP Through SAML
With this integration option, you can build device compliance checks for cloud-based applications such as Salesforce, Office 365, and Dropbox.
