MetaDefender Kiosk — Security at the door, before files enter your network

MetaDefender Kiosk is a plug-and-play solution designed to block malware, zero-day malware, and unsafe files before they even reach corporate networks or critical infrastructure. It supports over 20 types of removable media (USB, CD/DVD, memory cards, external drives, etc.) and inspects each file using dozens of anti-malware engines, advanced sandboxing, and content sanitization technologies.

Thanks to ultra-fast scanning (up to over 13.000 files per minute in the most powerful models), MetaDefender Kiosk can process large volumes of data efficiently, perfect for companies, industries or organizations with a high frequency of exchanges on removable media.

In practice: every time a visitor, partner, or operator wants to use an external device, it is "passed" to the Kiosk, which automatically checks the security of the files and allows access only if they are clean, drastically reducing the risk of malware infections.

MetaDefender Kiosk is therefore an effective first line of defense to protect critical IT and OT environments, ensuring compliance, control logic and preventative protection.

MetaDefender Endpoint — Defense across all endpoints for critical IT/OT networks

MetaDefender Endpoint protects devices within critical networks (IT or OT) against threats from peripherals and removable media, such as USB drives, external disks, and various media.

When a removable device is connected, access is blocked until a full scan is performed, either by dozens of anti-malware engines (multiscanning) or by an advanced file sanitization technology (Deep CDR), which sanitizes over 180/200 file types and regenerates “clean” content.

In addition to removable media, MetaDefender Endpoint also checks files downloaded from the Internet and scans them “on-access,” that is, before the user opens them, ensuring continuous protection.

For those operating in sensitive environments (industry, energy, healthcare, critical infrastructure, etc.), this solution represents a fundamental bulwark: it prevents the introduction of malware, zero-day attacks, or compromised files, even in air-gapped environments or with restrictive measures, also contributing to compliance and security regulations.

MetaDefender Media Firewall — An intelligent barrier against removable media threats

MetaDefender Media Firewall is a “plug-and-play” hardware solution designed to protect critical systems (including SCADA/HMI) from malware and threats carried by removable devices (USB, SD/CF cards, external drives, etc.).

When a media is connected, the Media Firewall automatically inspects both the boot sector Only after media and files have been checked, sanitized, and approved is access granted, thus preventing infections, zero-days, malicious, or compromised files.

It does not require software installation on the host system, maintaining the integrity of the protected machine intact: a key advantage in OT/industrial or critical infrastructure environments.

It also supports major removable media types (USB-A, USB-C, SD/MicroSD, CF) and helps meet security and compliance standards and regulations (e.g. ISO 27001, NIST 800‑53, ISA 62443, etc.).

In short: Media Firewall is the preventative line of defense that kicks in as soon as a removable device tries to access a sensitive network or system, blocking threats before that can have any impact.

MetaDefender Access

Secure access and zero-trust compliance for users, devices, and networks

MetaDefender Access is a unified platform designed to ensure secure access (on-premises, cloud, or remote) and manage device (endpoint) compliance according to the “zero-trust” philosophy.

Learn more

Before allowing access to applications, the network, or data, the platform performs a series of checks on each device: operating system, security software, encryption, patches and known vulnerabilities, presence of removable media or unauthorized applications.

Only compliant devices, based on defined security policies, are granted access, dramatically reducing the risk of unsecured users or devices compromising the infrastructure.

The solution provides complete visibility across all connected endpoints, with an interface that allows you to monitor which devices are accessing, when, and how. In the event of non-compliance, users can self-remediate without interrupting productivity.

MetaDefender Access replaces or complements VPNs and other traditional tools, offering simplified management, increased security, and ongoing compliance—ideal for distributed environments, BYOD, IoT, or businesses with high compliance needs.

MetaDefender OT Security

Advanced visibility and protection for industrial OT/CPS networks and assets

MetaDefender OT Security is a platform dedicated to ensuring security, visibility and compliance across critical Operational Technology (OT) networks and cyber-physical systems (CPS).

MetaDefender OT Security is a platform dedicated to ensuring security, visibility and compliance across critical Operational Technology (OT) networks and cyber-physical systems (CPS).

When implemented, MetaDefender OT Security allows you to:

  • Automatically discover and inventory all devices in your OT network, with intelligent asset profiling.
  • View your OT network and asset operational and safety status in real time, with a single, unified interface — a single pane of glass to monitor everything.
  • Manage patches, updates, and vulnerabilities easily and centrally, even across multiple distributed sites.
  • Report anomalies, unwanted connections, or misconfigurations; provide advanced protection against intrusions and cyber threats targeting OT environments.
  • Meet compliance and audit requirements with integrated reporting and control capabilities.

In practice, MetaDefender OT Security represents a complete and scalable line of defense which enables organizations to have full control over their industrial environment, assets, network and security, reducing risks and ensuring operations and compliance even in complex contexts.
