OPSWAT MetaDefender Core – Data Sanitization & Multiscanning
About the product
OPSWAT MetaDefender Core is an advanced platform for analyzing and securing files before they are shared or processed in high-security environments. The key components of the solution are:
– Multiscanning – parallel file analysis using over 30 antimalware engines from various manufacturers (including Bitdefender, Kaspersky, ESET, Sophos, McAfee), ensuring over 99% detection rate.
– Data Sanitization (CDR – Content Disarm & Reconstruction) – secure “disarming” of a file by removing or replacing potentially dangerous elements (macros, embedded scripts, form fields, metadata) without changing its content visible to the user.
The solution supports over 150 file formats, including Office, PDF, images, archive files, binary files, and executable files. MetaDefender Core can act as a local server analyzing files sent via API, SMB, email, web proxy, or automation systems (SIEM, SOAR, DLP, MFT).
