What Storage Security Is Up Against
Dormant Malware in Stored Data
Dormant malware can lay undetected for months, waiting in storage until files are opened, restored, or shared across your organization.
Fragmented, Multi-Environment Storage
Data lives across on-premises systems, NAS devices, collaboration platforms, and multiple clouds. Securing each with separate tools creates gaps, adds operational overhead, and leads to inconsistent protection.
Compliance and Sensitive-Data Exposure
Sensitive or out-of-policy data stored in files can trigger regulatory violations. Manual reviews and reports are slow, hard to scale, and difficult to evidence when an audit arrives.
Agentic AI Accelerating Threat Spread
Autonomous AI agents ingest, move, and act on files at scale. They can spread infected content in seconds or inadvertently expose sensitive data buried in storage, often without a human in the loop to catch it.
Protect Files Across Your Storage Environment
MetaDefender Storage Security detects file-borne threats, protects sensitive data, and applies consistent security across on-premises, hybrid, and cloud storage.
Detect and Neutralize Dormant Threats
Scan stored and incoming files with multiple detection technologies to uncover hidden malware and sanitize risky content before files are opened, restored, shared, or reused.
Protect Storage Across Every Environment
Apply consistent file security across on-premises, hybrid, and cloud storage from one platform, reducing security gaps and eliminating the need to manage disconnected protection tools.
Enforce Data and Compliance Policies
Identify sensitive and out-of-policy data directly in storage, automate policy enforcement, and generate the visibility and audit evidence needed to support compliance requirements.
Secure the Files Your AI Agents Use
Scan and sanitize files before AI agents ingest or distribute them, while identifying sensitive data that could otherwise be exposed through automated workflows.
Multi-Layered Security at the File Level for Every Storage Environment
Layer threat detection and prevention via automated policies to secure your data at rest across on-premises, hybrid, and cloud storage.

Trusted Across Industries with Sensitive Data
MetaDefender Storage Security protects highly regulated industries, where a single compromised file can lead to regulatory, financial, or reputational damage.
Secure Financial and Banking Data
Protection for transactions, records, and customer data from file-borne threats.
Financial institutions handle vast volumes of sensitive files each day, including loan applications, account records, insurance claims, and transaction documents. MetaDefender Storage Security scans and sanitizes these files in real time, so banks and insurers can prevent malware infiltration, stop data leaks, and meet strict regulatory requirements.
Keep Patient and Medical Data Safe
Security and compliance for medical records and imaging files
Hospitals and healthcare providers store large volumes of sensitive data, including medical records, lab results, and diagnostic scans. MetaDefender Storage Security protects this data from file-borne threats and unauthorized exposure, so healthcare organizations can maintain HIPAA compliance and deliver patient care uninterrupted.
Protect Critical Government Systems
Cross-domain transfer and air-gapped protection for classified agency data
Government agencies manage sensitive citizen data and, in many cases, classified information that demands the highest levels of security. MetaDefender Storage Security supports cross-domain transfer, so files can move between isolated security domains without carrying threats across, and it can be deployed fully air-gapped for environments with no external connectivity. Agencies scan and sanitize stored files, prevent data leaks, and meet strict compliance mandates.
Clear Dormant Threats from Backup and Archive Repositories
Find and remove malware hiding in stored backups and archive
Backups preserve whatever was on disk when they ran, including malware that had not yet been detected, so a restore can reintroduce an infection long after the original incident. MetaDefender Storage Security scans repositories mounted as SMB or NFS shares and reuses results for files that have not changed.
Support Your Compliance Requirements
with Confidence
MetaDefender Storage Security helps organizations strengthen their security controls by scanning stored files for malware, sensitive data, and vulnerabilities. These capabilities can support compliance initiatives and security practices associated with regulations and frameworks such as HIPAA, GDPR, PCI DSS, or GLBA.
FAQs
MetaDefender Storage Security is designed to protect on-premises, hybrid, and cloud storage, with native and compatible integrations for platforms such as Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, NetApp, Dell EMC Isilon, SharePoint Online, OneDrive, and Box. It also supports SMB, NFS, SFTP, and S3-compatible storage.
You have direct control over its footprint. Scans carry a High, Medium, or Low priority, so they yield to live workloads under load; throughput is tunable through concurrent scan settings; and on repeat scans, unchanged files reuse their previous results, so a rescan only works on what has changed.
It layers multiple technologies: Metascan™ Multiscanning across 30+ engines, Deep CDR™ Technology, Proactive DLP™, File-Based Vulnerability Assessment, and Adaptive Sandbox; to help detect and address known, unknown, and evasive threats.
MetaDefender Storage Security orchestrates protection across your storage by connecting to your repositories, applying your policies, deciding which files to scan, and acting on the results. MetaDefender Core is the analysis engine behind it, running Metascan™ Multiscanning, Deep CDR™ Technology, Proactive DLP™, and the other detection technologies on each file. Every MetaDefender Storage Security package includes a MetaDefender Core engine package, so the analysis capability is built in, and higher-throughput deployments scale by adding Core instances.
Yes. On-demand and scheduled scans are designed to discover and remediate dormant threats hidden in large volumes of existing or legacy files across your storage repositories.
It supports your compliance efforts, helping detect sensitive or out-of-policy content with Proactive DLP, and produces audit evidence that supports requirements under regulations such as HIPAA, GDPR or PCI-DSS.
You can deploy on virtual machines for on-premises and hybrid environments, in containers with Kubernetes and Helm, or as a cloud-native IaaS or SaaS option.
Deep CDR™ Technology is designed to remove risky embedded objects and regenerate clean, usable files across 200+ file types, helping keep safe content intact and available.
