In today's digital world, file-based threats slipping into corporate networks pose serious security risks. Traditional security solutions can fall short of fully analysing file content, particularly in environments handling large data flows. This is where OPSWAT MetaDefender ICAP Server comes in: integrated into your existing network infrastructure, it passes inbound and outbound file traffic through a multi-layered security filter. With its support for ICAP (Internet Content Adaptation Protocol), it fits easily alongside devices such as proxies and web gateways, making files safe before they ever reach your network.

MetaDefender ICAP Server is backed by OPSWAT's powerful threat prevention technologies. It can scan with multiple antivirus engines simultaneously, analysing file content effectively against both known and zero-day threats.

ICAP Server also integrates flexibly into an organization's security architecture through policy-based actions, detailed reporting and API integration.
