Why Single-Engine AVs Aren’t Enough
Traditional antivirus solutions miss threats, have slow response times, and complicate integration.
Limited Detection Accuracy
Single-engine AVs leave gaps in threat coverage, especially for zero-day and region-specific malware.
False Negatives and Operational Risk
Missed threats lead to data breaches, downtime, and reputational damage.
Integration Complexity
Legacy AVs don’t fit modern workflows, cloud-based architectures, and air-gapped environments.

Multiscanning Redefined by OPSWAT
AI-enhanced detection analyzes structure and content to identify a file’s true type, closing gaps left by traditional verification.
Multi-Engine Detection
Parallel scanning across 30+ AV engines dramatically improves visibility and reduces false negatives.
Parallel Processing
Distributed computing and multi-core optimization scans files efficiently across multiple engines, minimizing latency and maintaining high throughput.
Easy Integration
REST APIs and SDKs allow Metascan Multiscanning to integrate into SIEM, SOAR, ICAP, and file transfer systems with ease.
How It Works
Metascan Multiscanning combines advanced multiengine scanning, normalization, and performance optimization for comprehensive file analysis.
Unmatched Detection, Performance, and Control
High Detection Accuracy
Proven to detect over 99 percent of threats when using 30+ anti-malware engines. This significantly outperforms single-engine antivirus solutions.
Low False Positives
Shared allowlists and vendor collaboration help reduce alert fatigue and improve operational efficiency.
Customizable Engine Packages
Choose from 4 to more than 30 anti-malware engines based on your risk tolerance, compliance requirements, and performance goals.
Scalable Deployment
Supports cloud, on-premises, or air-gapped environments with robust performance tuning support.
Single License Simplicity
OPSWAT bundles all antivirus engines into one license. This removes the need to manage multiple vendors and helps reduce total cost of ownership.
