Confidently Choose the Right File Security Solution
File-based threats are evolving fast, and so should your defenses. Whether files are uploaded through customer portals, downloaded from the web, or shared across internal systems, each one is a potential attack vector.
The File Security Buyer’s Guide from OPSWAT is designed to help CISOs, security architects, and IT leaders evaluate the most important capabilities needed to confront file security challenges with confidence. Inside, you'll find expert guidance, a practical evaluation checklist, and insights on why traditional tools fall short.
A File Security Solution Checklist
The File Security Buyer’s Guide includes a practical 12-point checklist designed to help you evaluate potential solutions with confidence. This tool guides you through the essential capabilities to consider when comparing vendors, so you can quickly identify which platforms meet your file security needs.
Why Traditional File Security Falls Short
Legacy antivirus tools can’t handle today’s complex file-borne threats. Threats are often hidden inside common formats, weaponized with macros, or delivered through zero-day exploits—evading signature-based detection entirely.
On top of that, traditional solutions often lack:
- Visibility into file contents
- Effective inspection of cloud and collaboration workflows
- Integration with modern infrastructure
- Real-time enforcement across file touchpoints
