Web and Content Security

MetaDefender Core is an advanced file threat prevention platform that analyses files with technologies such as multiple anti-malware engines, Deep CDR, sandboxing, file type validation and sensitive data inspection. Embedded into web uploads, file transfers, business applications and security gateways through APIs or ready-made integrations, it checks files before they reach the target system.

Not relying on a single detection engine increases the likelihood of catching both known and new malicious files. Because Deep CDR removes risky active elements while preserving usable file content, workflows do not have to be blocked outright. By using a common file security service across different applications, the organization standardizes its controls, reduces development cost and manages the file-borne attack surface centrally.

MetaDefender Sandbox is a sandbox solution that runs suspicious files in an isolated analysis environment, examining zero-day and targeted malware that normal scanning engines cannot detect by observing how it behaves. By watching the file's process, network, memory and system changes, it produces a risk score and detailed analysis findings.

Behaviour-based analysis provides additional protection against files that have no signature or that have been crafted to evade detection mechanisms. Seeing in detail what a suspicious file does lets security teams make quarantine, blocking and incident response decisions with far more confidence. Its integration with the MetaDefender ecosystem means the same advanced analysis capability can be used across email, web, storage and file transfer channels.

MetaDefender Storage Security is a storage security solution that scans files in on-premises and cloud storage environments in real time or on demand. By inspecting content reaching file servers, NAS, object storage and collaboration platforms with multiscanning, Deep CDR and data protection controls, it prevents malicious or risky files from spreading through storage.

Keeping central storage areas clean reduces the risk of large numbers of users and systems accessing the same file being affected all at once. The solution checks a file as it enters storage, while it is in use, or during scheduled scans, which helps uncover both old and new threats. Moving security inspection to the storage layer complements endpoint controls and deepens the defence against ransomware and the spread of malicious files.

MetaDefender ICAP Server is an integration server that brings advanced content security to proxies, secure web gateways, file transfer and storage products that support the ICAP protocol. By routing the files passing through those systems to MetaDefender's multiscanning, Deep CDR, sandbox and data inspection capabilities, it adds a central file security layer to the existing infrastructure.

ICAP-based integration raises the level of file inspection without changing the existing proxy or storage architecture. Because the same security policies and detection technologies are used across different workflows, management is simplified and protection becomes more consistent. Rather than building a new security gateway, the organization can extend the investments it already has, stopping threats arriving through web downloads and file uploads before they reach the target system.

MetaDefender Managed File Transfer is a security-focused MFT platform that moves files between users, systems and networks of differing security levels in an encrypted, logged and policy-controlled way. In addition to traditional transfer capabilities, it builds secure workflows by putting every file through multiscanning, Deep CDR, DLP and, where required, sandbox controls.

Combining file transfer and security inspection in the same process means malicious or sensitive content is stopped before it reaches the target system. Approval workflows, role-based access and detailed audit logs bring far more control to manual SFTP processes. The organization can standardize data exchange between IT, OT, cloud and air-gapped networks, reducing the risk of malicious content and data leakage while keeping operational file transfer running.
