MetaDefender offers multiple features. Multi-scanning technology allows you to use simultaneous scanning anti-malware scanning engines to detect the malicious content of the file. It scans files using Content Disarm and Reconstruct and if any malicious content is found, then it removes that part of the content and reconstructs the file. It also uses machine learning technologies to optimize the file scanning process and has an adaptive sandbox which detects advanced persistent threats from the files. It features proactive data loss prevention which scans all formats while sending files outside to help maintain compliance with PCI, GDPR, file-based vulnerabilities, and software bill of materials, identifying vulnerabilities in files and software components to secure supply chains. The best thing about it is we use this on cloud-native security, thus it supports cloud applications. The effectiveness of MetaDefender in blocking or sanitizing content based on policy is evident in multiple points, such as having a multi-scanning engine detecting threats where we use multiple antivirus engines simultaneously to scan files with accuracy and block threats. It helps enforce policies such as blocking executable files, disallowing macros in office files, or restricting certain file types, enforced consistently across the endpoint, email, and file transfers. Regarding sanitizing content, these features remove active contents such as scripts, macros, and embedded objects while preserving the legibility of the file and neutralizing zero-day exploits in hidden documents or images, making it useful. Content Disarm and Reconstruct features remove active contents such as scripts, macros, and embedded objects while preserving the eligibility of the file, ensuring the file remains usable even if malicious contents are blocked.
