Why storing data is so risky

File repositories, both cloud-based and local, are a common source of attacks. The most common threats occur when:
– users upload files from unknown sources
– there is a lack of control over access and risk analysis
– folders are shared across multiple departments without monitoring
– infections move between files unnoticed
Without proper protection, corporate resources can be encrypted, compromised or used as an attack vector.

What is OPSWAT Metadefender Storage Security

OPSWAT Metadefender Storage Security is an advanced tool for securing data spaces. The system analyzes, filters and purges files before they reach repositories or before users can access them. With advanced technologies such as multi-engine scanning and Content Disarm & Reconstruction, protection is immediate and effective even against zero-day threats.

How repository protection works

The system protects the data space by:
– multi-motor scanning of files before they are saved or downloaded
– behavioral analysis and neutralization of malicious elements (CDR)
– user access control and activity logging
– integration with popular cloud and on-premises environments (including SharePoint, Azure, AWS)
– automatic blocking of potentially dangerous files

The biggest benefits for the organization

– Data protection against ransomware and malware
– minimize the risk of lost or encrypted files
– full visibility of user activity in repositories
– compliance with regulations and industry requirements
– reduced costs associated with security incidents
– ability to integrate with existing IT infrastructure

When is it worth implementing this solution

OPSWAT Metadefender Storage Security is ideal for organizations:
– that store large amounts of sensitive data
– that operate in regulated industries (medical, financial, energy, public)
– that use shared repositories in a hybrid model
– that are vulnerable to ransomware attacks
– that want to automate their security control process

FAQ

Does the solution work in the cloud and locally?
Yes, it supports both environments.
Does the system affect the speed of users?
No, it works automatically and in the background, without manual operation.
Does the tool detect zero-day threats?
Yes, thanks to CDR technology and multi-engine analysis.

Summary

OPSWAT Metadefender Storage Security is one of the most advanced tools for protecting corporate data assets.
