Prevent File-borne Threats
Use MetaDefender API to enhance the security of your application or solution by leveraging MetaDefender’s advanced threat detection and prevention. MetaDefender’s Data Sanitization (CDR) technology prevents unknown file-borne threats by sanitizing and reconstructing files ensuring that any possible embedded threats are neutralized while maintaining full usability with safe content.

Maximize Threat Detection
MetaDefender’s multi-scanning technology leverages 30+ anti-malware engines and significantly improves detection of known and unknown threats and provides the earliest protection against malware outbreaks. In addition, MetaDefender’s vulnerability assessment technology can detect vulnerabilities in installers, binary files and Internet of Things (IoT) firmware before they are executed on endpoints.
-
Protect Sensitive Information
MetaDefender data loss prevention (DLP) can help companies prevent sensitive information from leaving or entering the company’s systems by content-checking files before they are transferred. MetaDefender can search over 30 file types for sensitive content, including Microsoft Office, PDF, CSV, HTML and image files.
