If you are an existing OPSWAT MetaDefender customer, you just need to add Windows Defender Antivirus as a component in your scanning package on the MetaDefender console. How you can get the benefits of Windows Defender Antivirus on MetaDefender With its rich data set, integration into the operating system, and growing cross-platform capabilities, Windows Defender Antivirus provides best-in-class endpoint threat detection. The scale of Microsoft’s optics into endpoints makes our machine learning models highly effective. Windows Defender Antivirus is a leading antivirus solution in the market today-consistently achieving top scores in industry tests thanks to advanced machine learning technologies and extensive threat intelligence. ICAP scanning provides efficient scanning on read/write access for bulk storage. Security policies for specific hosts, client machines, or HTTP headers can be applied.įor hybrid cloud customers, MetaDefender with Windows Defender Antivirus can be used to scan AWS S3 storage, local storage area networks (SANs) and network-attached storage (NAS), or document management systems. MetaDefender is highly scalable and built for high-performance traffic handling and scanning. Azure Blobs or AWS S3) using OPSWAT MetaDefender, which is AV-agnostic.Ĭustomers can use Windows Defender Antivirus exclusively or combine multiple licensed AV scanning solutions on the same server. If your organization relies on Windows Defender Antivirus for threat identification, you can now use it to efficiently perform antivirus scans on storage arrays, network appliances, and cloud-based bulk storage (e.g. What this means for your hybrid environment REST’s simplicity and stateless nature tend to produce more robust service implementations than session-based services. Because REST calls are stateless, load management can be efficiently controlled with simple load balancing mechanisms between servers. Representative State Transfer (REST) is a style of web services which are simple to invoke and stateless, providing a scalable set of services and service interoperability. Most of these devices can be configured to forward files when they are open, written, or transferred to an ICAP AV scanner. As an open protocol, the support of ICAP AV scanning for large storage arrays or secure web gateways is ubiquitous. Specifically, the goal of ICAP is to offload tasks like antivirus scanning onto specialized servers to increase network throughput. It is a lightweight HTTP-based RPC protocol designed to offload processing of Internet-based content to dedicated servers. The Internet Content Adaptation Protocol (ICAP) was introduced in 1999 by the ICAP forum. Today, Leveraging OPSWAT MetaDefender support for both ICAP file submission for scanning and REST-based submission, customers requiring scanning for large local storage arrays or cloud storage arrays can now utilize the industry-leading antivirus engine in Windows Defender Antivirus. Currently, Windows Defender Antivirus works with EMC solutions utilizing the Celerra AntiVirus Agent (CAVA). We recognize that many organizations need hybrid security solutions where the best components of Microsoft’s security suite can be utilized to ensure the security of local components, such as large network storage arrays. In partnership with OPSWAT’s MetaDefender Advanced Threat Prevention Platform, antivirus scanning in Windows Defender Antivirus is now available for on-premises and hybrid cloud Internet Content Adaptation Protocol (ICAP) scanning.
