Secure Cross-Domain Solutions
Without Compromise
OPSWAT Cross-Domain Solutions are a modular cross-domain security solution for securely moving data between networks of different trust and classification levels. Built on the MetaDefender Platform, they combine advanced threat prevention, data diodes, and security gateways to enforce import and export controls, prevent malware and data leakage, and support compliant workflows for defense, intelligence, and critical infrastructure environments.
- Mission-Ready for All Environments
- Specialized Workflows
- Scalable & Certifiable
What We’re Up Against
Increased Data Types & Volumes
Data moving across domains now comes in high volumes and diverse formats, from everyday user files to geospatial data, installers, and application updates. Legacy and hardware-only systems struggle to process this variety and cannot scale to deliver the Security Enforcing Functions (SEFs) needed in a flexible, expandable way.
Sophisticated Threats
Systems must withstand highly resourceful attackers, including nation-state threats. Data transfers between security levels expose vulnerabilities that traditional defenses can’t address, while AI-driven attacks demand modern, adaptive protection.
Expanded Operational Models
Permanently isolating data no longer meets cross-territorial collaboration needs. Modern CDS systems must adapt to business demands, supporting diverse volumes, data types, and applications while enabling seamless API-to-API and cloud-to-on-prem transfers.

Build a Flexible, Scalable, and Resilient Cross Domain Solutions Architecture
OPSWAT provides a modular, software-led approach that adds to existing processes,
with market-leading technologies.
Import & Export Controls
Use advanced threat prevention for clean imports (Multiscanning, Deep CDR™ Technology, Adaptive Sandbox) and create audit trails for exports with Proactive DLP.
Tailored & Modular SEFs
Combine MetaDefender Core engines and capabilities to build flexible, software-defined cross-domain solutions.
Data Protection & Compliance Assurance
Built to expand easily and meet strict compliance standards. Stops sensitive data from leaking during exports and enables release accountability.
Specialized Workflows (Low→High / High→Low)
Customize workflows by adding or removing engines to match transfer direction and operational needs. Apply specific security checks to match the intent and direction of each data transfer.
Combine Processes to Match Data Flows
and Classification Requirements
Import (Low→High)
- Prevents malware from entering classified networks.
- Combines Multiscanning, Adaptive Sandbox Analysis, Deep CDR™ Technology, unidirectional control and protocol breaks.
Export (High→Low)
- Prevents unauthorized or sensitive data from leaving the high side.
- Offers data validation, content cleansing, tracks release authority.

- “We run a lot of our file scanning as a batch process in the morning since a lot of the images are submitted overnight. OPSWAT provides the scalability to scan 50% of the load in the first 15 minutes of the day.”A Canadian Government representative
- “The MetaDefender Platform provides Swiss Re with a comprehensive, easy-to-deploy and maintain solution that meets regulatory compliance requirements and eliminates the risk of malware entering the organization.”Raymond BucherDirector/Cloud Architect at Swiss Re
Supporting Mission-Critical Workflows
System & Software Imports
With the emulation sandbox, organizations can look at IOCs in complex data types such as OS patches or applications and eliminate potential threat vectors.
Controlled Exports
Proactive DLP can help ensure that data transferred from higher to lower classifications (such as reports shared with partners) does not contain sensitive information, not meant for release, by detecting and blocking it within files.
Removable Media Scanning & Release
With the MetaDefender Kiosk, data coming from Removable Media can go through the security enforcement mechanisms that are appropriate based on your organization's risk posture.
One main advantage is that using MD Core in conjunction with tools like MFT allows for a full audit trail, enabling organizations to trace back and see which role or persona tried to exfiltrate the data.
Multi-Domain Collaboration
Unlike traditional air-gapped approaches that isolate data and make collaboration difficult, OPSWAT’s solutions integrate into cross-domain architectures and enforce security policies. The hybrid hardware-software approach supports multiple communities of interest while ensuring sensitive data is properly controlled, monitored, and audited.
Support Compliance
with Regulatory Requirements
As cyberattacks and the threat actors that carry them out become more sophisticated, governing bodies around the world are implementing regulations to ensure critical infrastructure is doing what’s necessary to stay secure.
