OPSWAT is thrilled to introduce MetaDefender Endpoint Plus with embedded anti-malware engines scanning, powering our key features including Peripheral Media Protection, Download Protection, and Malware Scan for continuous, uninterrupted protection. This capability ensures that even when connectivity is interrupted or unavailable, organizations can maintain consistent protection against malware, malicious files, and peripheral media threats using embedded anti-malware engines.
By enabling continuous, disruption-free security enforcement, this advancement strengthens cyber resilience across all network zones, including air-gapped, remote, and mission-critical environments. This new enhancement further strengthens MetaDefender Endpoint™ as an all-in-one agent for endpoint protection with an enhanced experience.
Always-On File Scanning: Uninterrupted Protection Across Different Network Zones
The embedded anti-malware engines in MetaDefender Endpoint™ Plus eliminate the need for external dependencies such as continuous internet access, servers, or cloud services for scanning. This feature ensures files on removable media are scanned under all conditions, including within air-gapped environments:
- With internet connections available: Files can be scanned using our powerful MetaDefender Core™ or MetaDefender Cloud™ solutions, delivering advanced threat detection capabilities.
- With interrupted or unavailable internet connection: Organizations can still ensure protection through embedded anti-malware engines. By removing reliance on active connectivity, critical endpoints remain secured against malware and peripheral media threats, ensuring uninterrupted enforcement.
This always-on scanning capability is crucial for maintaining robust security, especially when consistent connectivity cannot always be guaranteed, enabling uninterrupted operations, peace of mind, and an enhanced security posture.
Administrators can enable this feature through the management console in My OPSWAT Central Management. When enabled, eligible users can switch between scanning with Embedded Engines and MetaDefender Core™ or MetaDefender Cloud™ directly within the MetaDefender Endpoint™ user interface, providing seamless experience.
Scanning in Low-Bandwidth Environments Without Network Dependency
Embedded multiscanning provides exceptional value for organizations operating in environments with limited network bandwidth or strict data transfer policies. By scanning files directly on the device, sending data over the network to external scanning services becomes unnecessary, increasing security, boosting operational efficiency, and aiding compliance.
What’s Next?
At OPSWAT, we continue pushing forward to offer more advanced features with MetaDefender Endpoint. The introduction of embedded multiscanning is a major step forward in endpoint security. Organizations can be confident that their devices are fully protected, whether on the move, working in a disconnected environment, or dealing with sensitive data.
