MetaDefender Deployments
and Integrations

MetaDefender is designed to prevent threats and zero-day attacks independently as well as complement other security solutions. MetaDefender can be deployed within your premises, cloud infrastructure or by integration with MetaDefender Cloud.

Depending on where the data lives, we offer native connectors or ability to integrate via REST API that supports a variety of deployment scenarios. In fact, our recommendation would be to always use native connectors, because it is typically a plug-and-play solution that does not require a code change.

Integrations

MetaDefender REST API makes almost any integration straightforward. MetaDefender frequently releases new functionalities, which enrich the API response while guaranteeing the backward compatibility. Below are several integration methods for your consideration.

1. Custom

Although custom integrations are available, the functionality will be limited to the feature set at the time of integration. Even though it would be easy to extend the integration, it requires application changes, and the approval process can be lengthy in some industries.

2. Native Connectors

OPSWAT provides a suite of native connectors that are officially supported. This means that if OPSWAT extends its functionality and introduces new information in its API response, OPSWAT will also swiftly update the integration. By using native connectors, you will always be able to leverage MetaDefender’s full functionality.

3. ICAP

One of the most popular native connector solutions is MetaDefender ICAP Server, which offers native integration to most Web Application Firewalls (WAFs), Load Balancers (LBs), and Network Attached Storage (NAS) products. This offers a seamless integration through the ICAP protocol which allows for the ability to offload the uploaded (or downloaded) files for analysis.
