Advanced threat scanning has strengthened endpoint security but reporting and hardware reliability still need improvement

The multi-scanning engines feature helps to manage threats effectively.MetaDefender Drive has the same multi-scanning platform as the Opswat endpoint and MFP. The difference is that you will not get as many antimalware engines compared to other solutions, but the main functionality of MetaDefender Drive is to detect threats from your endpoint.Content Disarm and Reconstruction (CDR) works on endpoints, but people typically do not use it for data at rest since the data is not in transit and remains on the asset. It is difficult to define a policy or determine what to sanitize and what not to sanitize. Overall, MetaDefender Drive is widely used for threat prevention with multi-scanning and vulnerability scanning.

We use the product for data enrichment or downloading malicious programs that we are otherwise unable to find

It's integrated in our product. We leverage the API, but it doesn't contribute to increasing the release time of the product itself. While the company is very helpful, it would be very much appreciated to have extensive proof of concept scripts for the different APIs available, though not for all the APIs that we have purchased. Respective scripts are available, but those scripts which are available are typically not of very high quality. This could be an area where the company can generally improve. It is not a big issue for us, since we have our own development team, but it could be an issue for other companies who are less mature.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"MetaDefender Drive is beneficial for organizations where vendors need to be prevented from supply chain attacks."

"As far as the availability of the content is generally concerned and the number of malicious programs that can be looked up in the repository, these are very extensive."

"The automated static analysis of malware is the most valuable feature. Its detection abilities are very good. It hits all of the different platforms out there, platforms that see the items in the wild."

"As far as the malware repository is concerned, it's extensive. It's a good source for finding samples, where we are unable to find them on other channels or by leveraging other sources."

"We have complete faith that it can do that for us, and can do it at scale."

"As far as static analysis information is concerned, we use most of the information that is available in order to determine whether or not we might be dealing with a malware variant. This includes information that is related to Java rules. This is also related to malware families indicated or specific malicious software variants that are labeled by name."

"It offers reports on a great many more file types than the other analysis solutions we have. It can give us a more in-depth analysis and better reporting on a larger number of file types. It also gives us a more comprehensive score on a number of things as well, and that's why we're using it as a front-end filter. It gives us more information... It's valuable because of its depth of information, as well as the breadth it gives us. There aren't a lot of tools that cover all of the different file types."

"ReversingLabs has a large sample size."

"We had nothing in the environment to do such analysis, so it's been a savior in many ways."

Cons

"MetaDefender Drive is not particularly stable."

"While the company is very helpful, it would be very much appreciated to have extensive proof of concept scripts for the different APIs available, though not for all the APIs that we have purchased."

"The solution needs to improve integrations."

"We would really like further integration with our threat intelligence platform, which is called ThreatConnect. We would also really like further integrations with an endpoint protection product we use called Tanium. The reason I mentioned both of these is that ReversingLabs claims to have extensive integrations with both of them, but they did not work for us."

"I would like to see if we could do a little bit more of bulk uploading of hash sets."

"I would like to see if we could do a little bit more of bulk uploading of hash sets. Right now, I can only do them individually."

"While the company is very helpful, it would be very much appreciated to have extensive proof of concept scripts for the different APIs available, though not for all the APIs that we have purchased. Respective scripts are available, but those scripts which are available are typically not of very high quality."

"The product support could be better at times. Sometimes, the resources that they provide could be of higher quality."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"We have a yearly contract based on the number of queries and malicious programs which can be processed."

"Currently, the license number of lookups that we purchased has not been reached yet, because the integration has only recently been completed. However, our usage is expected and planned to increase over the next couple of months."

Overview

MetaDefender Drive is a durable USB drive that creates a portable perimeter, in any location where maintaining an air-gap is critical.

Once plugged into a USB port, the computer can be booted safely from Drive, by running off of Drive’s own operating system. This separation allows analysis without software installation — a scan of the entire device for malware, vulnerabilities and a determination of the device’s integrity.

Deep forensic analysis is conducted on every possible file, and detailed threat reports pinpoint which files need to be removed and remediated.

The result? Only trusted devices enter your environment.

OPSWAT

Only ReversingLabs provides that final exam to determine whether a single file or full software binary presents a risk to your organization and your customers.
