MetaDefender for File Security is a threat prevention solution designed to protect organizations from known, unknown, and AI-generated file-borne malware. The platform scans files for malware, vulnerabilities, and sensitive data across file uploads, downloads, transfers, sharing, and storage environments before they enter or leave network perimeters.
The system utilizes multiscanning, content disarm and reconstruction (CDR), and data loss prevention (DLP) to inspect files passing through secure web gateways, web application firewalls, and cloud infrastructure. It neutralizes embedded threats by sanitizing and reconstructing files while maintaining the usability of safe content, ensuring that organizational policies and regulatory compliance mandates are enforced.
