In the world of information technology, data security has become more important than ever. Transferring data over physical media or portable devices in particular represents a potential risk for organizations. This is where OPSWAT MetaDefender Kiosk comes in, setting a new standard for secure data transfer.
OPSWAT MetaDefender Kiosk is a security solution designed to make data transfer over physical media or portable devices safe. The kiosk securely handles data transfer from a range of portable storage units such as USB drives, external hard disks and CDs/DVDs. MetaDefender Kiosk scans the data coming from these devices, checks whether it contains malicious software, and allows only safe data onto corporate networks.

MetaDefender Kiosk scans files using more than one antivirus engine. This raises the malware detection rate and catches threats that a single antivirus solution might miss.
By providing detailed scan reports, it makes data transfer processes auditable. That means you can track which file was scanned and what it went through.
Automated, fast scanning reduces the need for manual security checks, which lets IT teams use their time more efficiently.
