OPSWAT, a leader in safeguarding critical infrastructure, has introduced the MetaDefender Drive™ featuring Smart Touch. This portable cybersecurity device is designed for malware and compliance scanning of transient cyber assets, working efficiently across servers, desktops, and laptops regardless of network connectivity. Aimed at preventing cyberattacks, the device helps ensure uninterrupted operations by scanning inbound and transient assets before they enter secure environments.
MetaDefender Drive with Smart Touch Features
Specifically developed for critical infrastructure, the MetaDefender Drive with Smart Touch is a compact, handheld solution that provides secure physical connectivity controls. These controls mitigate the risk of network-based compromises during operation, allowing organisations to proactively inspect transient assets such as vendor laptops and contractor devices. This ensures that all devices are threat-free before being introduced into secure settings.
Advanced Metascan™ Multiscanning Technology
The device operates with ease, featuring a simple touch interface that requires no installation, making it user-friendly even in high-security environments. The next-generation MetaDefender Drive is powered by OPSWAT's Metascan™ Multiscanning technology, which employs up to seven anti-malware engines among other security features. It also offers file-based vulnerability assessments, proactive data loss prevention (DLP), and country-of-origin detection. Additionally, boot-level analysis provides a deeper inspection of cyber assets, bolstering security measures in air-gapped facilities.
Integration with My OPSWAT Central Management
"By combining our advanced multiscanning and data sanitisation technologies in a handheld form factor, we're giving critical infrastructure operators the best of both worlds — uncompromising security and the operational flexibility to enable operations anywhere independent of connectivity," stated Itay Glick, Vice President of Products at OPSWAT.
With seamless integration into My OPSWAT Central Management, the MetaDefender Drive with Smart Touch can be monitored and updated remotely, ensuring that all transient and critical assets are continually verified and safe for use.
The MetaDefender Drive with Smart Touch is now available for purchase through OPSWAT and its authorised partners globally, with both U.S.-made and international models on offer.
