System Administration and Health Monitoring

View a unified dashboard that summarizes processed files and threat activity. Access executive reports with detailed scan results. Monitor system availability and key resource metrics such as CPU, RAM, and engine status to maintain reliable performance.

Integration and Automation Settings

Connect MetaDefender Core to your infrastructure including SIEM, SOAR, ICAP servers, API workflows, and storage systems. Set logging and alerting preferences for automated responses.

Workflow Management

Configure security aligned workflows to match your operational policies across email, file transfer, storage, or custom environments. Establish how files enter the system and how they are processed.

Modular-based Features

Use a modular set of layered detection and prevention engines including File Type Detection, Deep CDR™ Technology, Multiscanning, Proactive DLP, and Adaptive Sandbox. This allows you to design specific file processing flows that match your operational use cases and security requirements.

File Sanitization and Threat Prevention

Define how files are inspected and cleaned through strict file type detection, recursive archive extraction, and Deep CDR™ Technology policies. Configure rules that govern how content is analyzed, reconstructed, and approved before it is released to downstream systems.

Multi-AV Scanning Configuration

Configure antivirus engines based on the package you have licensed and tailor how they contribute to threat evaluation. Adjust detection scoring, engine selection, scanning depth, and performance settings to achieve balanced and comprehensive threat coverage.

File-Based Vulnerability Assessment

Enable vulnerability analysis for files, installers, and executables. Set rules to detect outdated libraries and known vulnerabilities before allowing file usage.

Data Loss Prevention Rules

Define policies that identify and protect sensitive information through AI-powered data classification and pattern detection. Configure rules to address insider threat risks, monitor sensitive file movement, and enforce actions such as redaction, blocking, or alerting based on policy requirements.

Adaptive Sandbox Analysis

Enable emulation-based sandbox analysis for files that require deeper inspection. Configure how potentially unsafe content is executed in a controlled virtual environment, how behavior is evaluated, and how MetaDefender Core adjusts analysis depth based on file type, risk level, or workflow policy.

Concurrent Scanning with Multiple Engines

Files are going through different engines for malware and risk check. This process ensures that any potentially malicious content could not slip through the perimeter and reach end users.

Processing History and Reporting

Review processed files, threats detected, policy actions, and system metrics. Generate reports for audits, compliance, and operational reviews.

File Upload Security

MetaDefender Core protects public portals and applications from file-borne threats by sanitizing every uploaded file with Deep CDR™ Technology and scanning in parallel with 30+ anti-malware engines. It applies zero-trust principles at the perimeter, detects spoofed file types, and inspects encrypted archives to prevent ransomware and data leakage without disrupting the user experience.

File Download Security

MetaDefender Core ensures downloads are free from potential malware across browsers and secure web gateways by applying deep file sanitization and multi-engine malware scanning before execution. It blocks disguised or evasive threats that standard filters miss, maintains productivity, and provides full audit visibility for compliance and investigation.

Secure AI and ML Data Pipeline

MetaDefender Core secures AI data pipelines and workflows by sanitizing and validating every dataset, model, and dependency before use. It detects malware and vulnerabilities in ML artifacts, generates SBOMs for software transparency, and applies Proactive DLP to protect sensitive data, enabling trusted and compliant AI development and deployment.

Secure Forensics Investigation for SOC Teams

MetaDefender Core enables SOC and forensics teams to safely analyze suspicious files without execution. It neutralizes embedded threats with Deep CDR™ Technology, detects evasive malware through adaptive sandboxing, and provides audit-ready logs to maintain chain of custody, accelerating triage and investigation in offline or air-gapped environments.

Advanced Threat Detection And Prevention For Trusted File Workflows

MetaDefender Core is OPSWAT’s advanced threat detection and prevention platform for identifying file-borne threats before execution. It combines Deep CDR™ Technology, Metascan™ Multiscanning, adaptive sandboxing, Proactive DLP, and AI-powered malware detection to secure file workflows across critical infrastructure while supporting compliance and zero trust at the file level.
