MetaDefender Managed File Transfer
Security-First File Transfer with Policy Enforcement Across Users & Systems
Secure file transfers by detecting and neutralizing file-borne threats. Ensure seamless, secure collaboration between productivity tools and internal and external users.
Ensure Advanced Security Protection
Metascan™ Multiscanning, with up to 30 anti-malware engines, along with Deep CDR protect against malware and zero-day file-based attacks. Sandbox technology provides real-time analysis and monitoring to detect unknown threats and prevent zero-day exploits.Encrypt from End-to-End
Using TLS 1.3 and AES-256, your data stays secure both in transit and at rest, eliminating data vulnerabilities due to a lack of encryption.Safeguard File Trust
With our checksum algorithm, you can detect data tampering and ensure file integrity by verifying any changes over time, which is critical for maintaining trust and security during file transfers.

File Transfer Automation & Jobs
Streamline operations by scheduling MFT jobs with customizable file-routing logic. This reduces workflow inefficiencies caused by non-integrated tools like CRMs, financial apps, and collaboration tools.File Transfer Initiation
Automated jobs can be triggered by schedule, logic, or on-demand events.Secure Collaboration
Custom user groups and shared workspaces streamline internal-external collaboration.Transfer Policy Framework
The Transfer Policy framework (for MFT-to-MFT transfers) ensures that files are synchronized between low-security and high-security environments only if they meet predefined security and metadata-based criteria.Logic-Based Filter Policies
Customizable rules determine file movement based on transfer conditions, such as filename, file size, type, group membership, Active Directory or Entra ID group attributes, and content-based dynamic routing.Metadata-Based File Transfers
Routing decisions are made using content analysis results. For example, after analyzing a file by identifying and classifying unstructured text into predefined categories using AI, a file labeled with the property “Priority=High” would only be transferred to high-security destinations if explicitly allowed by the applicable transfer policy.
