Worried about hidden threats lurking in your files? You're not alone. In today's digital landscape, safeguarding your data is more critical than ever. OPSWAT and NetApp have joined forces to tackle this challenge head-on, offering a powerful solution to fortify your file security across enterprise storage environments.
This collaboration brings together OPSWAT's cutting-edge file security tools with NetApp's widely-used storage platforms. The goal? To detect and prevent a range of threats, including hidden malware, macro threats, sensitive data leakage, and file-borne vulnerabilities. And the best part? It does all this without disrupting your existing workflows, seamlessly integrating into your on-premises, cloud, and hybrid storage environments.
"Organizations worldwide move massive volumes of files through the NetApp data platform and our storage systems daily," says Spencer Sells, Vice President, Global Alliances at NetApp. This integration provides customers with more choices in tools to stop file-borne threats before they spread, reduce compliance exposure, and keep critical operations running even as risks evolve.
So, what exactly does this integration offer?
It provides multi-layered security capabilities, including:
- OPSWAT MetaScan multiscanning: This feature uses multiple antivirus engines to scan files, increasing the chances of detecting threats.
- Deep CDR (Content Disarm and Reconstruction): This technology removes potentially harmful elements from files, making them safe to use.
- Proactive DLP (Data Loss Prevention): This helps prevent sensitive data from leaving your organization.
- A patented vulnerability assessment: This identifies and addresses weaknesses in your systems.
- Adaptive sandbox technologies: These allow you to safely test files in a controlled environment.
"Customers want file security that doesn’t slow down business," explains George Prichici, Vice President of Products at OPSWAT. "With OPSWAT MetaDefender Storage Security integrated into NetApp ONTAP for on-prem and cloud deployments, we help customers stop file-based threats at the storage layer and demonstrate controls for audits without changing workflows."
But here's where it gets interesting... MetaDefender Storage Security isn't limited to just on-prem and cloud deployments. It also supports Server Message Block (SMB), Network File System (NFS), and Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP). This flexibility makes it easy to integrate with your existing infrastructure and adapt to various deployment needs.
NetApp, the intelligent data infrastructure company, offers unified data storage with integrated data, operational, and workload services. As the only enterprise-grade storage service natively embedded in the world’s biggest clouds, NetApp's data storage provides seamless flexibility to manage any data, for any application, anywhere it’s needed in an optimized, secured, and intelligent way.
And this is the part most people miss... This partnership isn't just about adding another layer of security; it's about providing a comprehensive solution that addresses the evolving threat landscape. By combining OPSWAT's expertise in file security with NetApp's robust storage platforms, organizations can significantly reduce their risk of data breaches and ensure business continuity.
