metadefender is a cyber security platform for preventing and detecting cyber security threats on multiple data channels .
metadefender protect organizations from cyber security threats in data that originates from a variety of sources, such as web, email, portable media, and endpoints. the metadefender philosophy is :
organizations have difficulty tracking and securing all data transfer channels that expose them to security threats, especially large enterprises with thousands of employees and contractors. data transfer channels, such as file uploads, portable media devices, and email attachments, all have the potential to carry t argeted attacks that can damage an organization’s reputation, financial standing, customer relationships, and for critical infrastructure, sensitive equipment and the facility itself .
most cyber security solutions rely upon detection as their core protective function. data sanitization, does not rely on detection. it assumes all files are infected and rebuilds their content using a secure and efficient process. it supports more than 30 file types, and outputs safe and usable files. data sanitization is extremely effective in preventing targeted attacks, ransomware, and other types of known and unknown malware threats .
metadefender multi - scanning uses multiple anti - malware engines to provide superior detection rates of known and unknown threats and deliver powerful malware outbreak prevention functionality. metadefender customers can simultaneously leverage the combined threat prevention capabilities of more than 30 anti - malware engines using both signature heuristic scanning and machine learning capabilities
all applications contain vulnerabilities of different degrees of severity that threat actors can exploit. our vulnerability assessment of binaries and installers detects known vulnerabilities within files and application vulnerabilities in software programs before they are installed on endpoint devices, including iot devices. we support vulnerability detection for over 1 million files and over 20, 000 applications .
customers can implement our industry - leading data sanitization, multi - scanning, and vulnerability assessment technology through either our metadefender cloud service or by deploying metadefender software solutions within their own environment, including air - gapped networks .
increase detection rates and decrease the time to detect an outbreak. improve resiliency for compliance and anti - malware engine vulnerabilities without compromising on false positives, performance and cost .
unlike sandboxes, our data sanitization (cdr) technology does not depend on detection to block threats and rebuilds file to prevent targeted attacks related to a vulnerability while maintaining file usability .
enables software engineers and technology vendors to develop products for securing and managing endpoints through detecting, classifying, assessing, and managing thousands of software applications .
big data cloud security platform contains billions of security intelligence data points to add cyber security intelligence to your architecture .
technologies to determine the status of important compliance features, ensuring that only trusted devices are allowed access to local networks and cloud applications .
we compile the most searched - for threats from the metadefender cloud database over the past month, and you can see them below ...
the net - net? we are cyber security experts driven to provide the most effective threat prevention technology possible, no matter where you are in the world .
when you suspect a device may be infected with malware, run metadefender client for the most thorough free malware scan. the tool uses several unique methods to identify malware and gives you visibility into the processes your device is running :
make sure your computer isn' t compromised by using metaaccess to find possible threats and security risks on your device. the tool is also available for mobile devices. metaaccess helps you assess and manage the security status, performance, and privacy of your smartphone, tablet, desktop, or network, and can also map networks. metaaccess lets you manage the security status of multiple devices at once, as it alerts you to threats and vulnerabilities on any device .

metaaccess protects corporate data by ensuring that only compliant devices are allowed to access local networks and cloud applications. in addition, metaaccess provides enterprise - wide visibility into all managed devices, allowing for easy identification of security and compliance issues as well as detailed device information .
metaaccess helps organizations meet regulatory requirements by preventing risky devices from accessing corporate data, as well as increasing insight into unmanaged devices by linking user identity to devices when accessing cloud applications. metaaccess further provides reports that can be useful for assisting with regulatory compliance audits, such as required by finra, hipaa, sarbanes - oxley and others .
metaaccess offers simplified control over endpoint device posture without requiring any actions of the end user. unlike the traditional vpn and network access control (nac), through seamless authentication protocol integration such as saml, metaaccess enables cloud applications and sso solutions to enforce device posture on an application - by - application basis with ease .
with pay - as - you - go pricing and no infrastructure upgrades, metaaccess does not require technical administration skills and allows you to scale easily when you need to add more devices. setting up metaaccess only takes a few clicks, and multiple deployment options are available. metaaccess is free for up to 25 devices, enabling organizations to try the solution on an extended basis before committing to a paid subscription .

your trust is our top concern, so companies can' t alter or remove reviews .
because the company is not funded by vc or other external sources, budgets have been tight and have often prohibited faster growth .
great team environment and lots of projects to work on ...
too many requirements on projects change too often. as a young engineer, i' d like see more focus on fewer technologies rather than working on many different things. the exposure to a variety of work is good, but i don' t get strong with any of it. perhaps, more professional development and training could be offered .
many important long - time, loyal paying customers with reasonable new customer acquisition growth; company actually profitable (unlike most these days). despite pretty high turnover due to negative experience as evidenced by other reviews, a substantial percentage of the employees have stayed for several years and beyond with several rising through the ranks from individual contributors to director and vp level .
very demanding management, sometimes confusing / contradictory directives. company is definitely not for everyone .
there has been some turnover, but it was mostly due to hiring some more junior people from a couple years back that didn' t have the right skill set. there seems to be some sour grapes on this website from that. what i have seen personally does not translate to what some have mentioned on glassdoor. they do have a little bit more processes than some companies. i do think that can be scaled back a bit .
continue to listen to your senior leaders and continue to empower those leaders. some departments are a little short staffed and could really use some additional people .
great products, backed up by powerful technologies. great team. excellent opportunity to grow a hot security company and help protect organizations around the world from malware and data breaches .
stimulating work, days go fast, never a dull moment. very spirited team, great customers, high demand for products. yes, i work hard but it' s a lot easier when your boss' s and all the people around you are working even harder... well... most of them. definitely not for bench warmers... only players are going to make it on this team because everyone wants in the game .
sometimes you don' t get to do things the way you want because you have to pivot to something else. that' s the way it goes, deal with it. very much a win mentality (what' s important now) and i like that but it' s not for everyone .
i' ve worked here for a significant amount of time, and since hiring new marketing leadership (which wasn' t even that long ago), myself and several others have seen a breakdown in processes, and wasteful spending. i' m surprised at senior management for hiring individuals who clearly do not have the experience required to properly run a successful marketing team. it' s really discouraging. i hope it gets better, but i have my doubts .
i think executive management needs to better evaluate who they hire in leadership positions and ask their
ground troops
what they think. we are the ones who come face - to - face with these issues. start listening .
we are sorry you feel that way. we would hope that you would speak up and talk about any issues with the processes you might see. we definitely value open communication and work as a team at
the benefits are good and most staff members i interact with are pretty personable. i can definitely get behind the product and what we do, and i respect the people leading our dev. the location is excellent for my tastes - - parking across the street, two minutes from whole foods, seven minutes from 24 hour fitness and the safeway plaza .
i mean, what can you say? you read the negatives on here and so you kind of keep an eye out for any signs or triggers that it' s going to be that way. but then none of it has happened * for me * so i can' t really say there' s been a negative. at least i haven' t seen it .
none really. there are some really nice people there. i have no idea why they stay .
not sure what to say - - - the ceo doesn' t think he has a problem .
constant change and instability (most say from ceo), executive leaders come and go, teams seem to turnover every year, unclear vision, product quality (i saw the support calls), i would say decent place for learning and hanging out, but cancel that - - avoid at all cost, even with what the good ratings and recruiters say .
this will replace the current featured review for targeted profile. are you sure you want to replace it ?

metadefender kiosk is a checkpoint for detecting and stopping security threats before they enter an isolated network. the kiosk can be deployed at strategic locations throughout your organization where employees or guests may be entering with usb drives or other portable media that could contain malicious files .
metadefender is used by organizations that require the highest level of security, including critical infrastructure, government agencies, and financial institutions. metadefender kiosk is used by the vast majority of us nuclear operators, making metadefender the leading hardware - based portable media detection and file sanitization solution for the us nuclear industry .
metadefender enables you to create a secure end - to - end process for transferring files to and from your critical networks. create granular security policies for file types and security processing based on users and roles. prevent known and unknown threats using multi - scanning, data sanitization (cdr), and vulnerability assessment .
by multi - scanning files with 30 + anti - malware engines using signatures, heuristics and machine learning, metadefender kiosk significantly improves detection of known and unknown threats and provides the earliest protection against malware outbreaks .
metadefender kiosk can be deployed on standard x86 hardware running windows 7 or later. if delivery on a hardened kiosk is required, purpose - built hardware is available from leading hardware vendors in multiple hardware size footprints .
our data sanitization technology, also known as content disarm and reconstruction (cdr), ‘disarms’ over 30 different file types, removing all potentially malicious content. the reconstructed, fully usable files are then copied to portable media or the metadefender vault safe for use .
sanitize over 30 common file types, and rebuild each file ensuring full usability with safe content .
scan with over 30 anti - malware engines using signatures, heuristics, and machine learning technology for the highest and earliest detection of known and unknown threats .
detect known vulnerabilities in more than 15, 000 software applications using over 1 billion hashes .
customizable, multi - language user interface. supports eight languages out of the box, and supports localization .
supports configurable workflows based on users or roles, the type of portable media being used, and the file types being processed .
signature - based, heuristics - based, and machine learning detection methods are not perfect. as shown by a research study in the chart above, single anti - malware engines detect at best up to 91. 8 percent of common cyber threats, and the majority of them only have a 40 to 80 percent detection rate .
research shows that as more anti - malware engines are added, malware detection rates improve, since each engine may not detect certain types of threats. each individual engine specializes in different categories. since each anti - malware engine uses different algorithms, malware analysts are in different time zones and different geographically - based labs, the value of combining multiple anti - malware engines significantly increases detection .
as shown in our multi - scanning test of more than 10, 000 of the most active threats, we achieved over 95 percent detection with 12 combined engines, over 97 percent detection with 16 engines, and over 99 percent detection with 20 or more engines .
during malware outbreaks the time it takes to detect a new threat is critical. even small changes in detection rates can add days, weeks or months to the time it takes for various anti - malware engines to respond to emerging threats .
urltoken conducted a test that shows that the detection mechanisms used by different anti - malware engines are faster at detecting certain malware compared to others. by combining the results of multiple scanning engines, we can reduce outbreak exposure times and achieve virtually zero exposure .
these gaps in detection are cause for concern because they expose organizations that use only a single anti - malware engine that hasn' t yet detected a specific threat. for example, the nemucod. kp trojan was initially detected by three anti - malware engines on march 16th, 2016. within two days eleven anti - malware engines had detected the threat, and after one week sixteen engines had detected it. but months later, 24 engines still had not detected the nemucod. kp threat .
the ability for multi - scanning to dramatically reduce the exposure gaps of using one or a small number of anti - malware engines makes it a valuable approach for the early detection of emerging and actual outbreaks .
with multi - scanning, you can avoid exposures caused by the potential limitations of a single vendor. this could be a technology issue, like a particular vendor being unable to detect a vulnerability because of a technical limitation, or it could be a business reason, like a vendor not being allowed to operate in certain geographic regions or government agencies. for example :
over - reliance on a single vendor can prove challenging, but these issues are avoided with multi - scanning approaches. multi - scanning also gives you the flexibility of removing a problematic vendor from your deployment environment if vendor issues occur .
false positives, where files are reported as malicious when they are not, surface as a side - effect of any malware scanning solution, and can adversely affect business operations. to further complicate the issue, false positives are often only reported by a few anti - malware vendors at a time, and they are not always consistent or reproducible during testing .
false positive rates are reduced because many malware vendors work together through malware data sharing programs. this means that vendors work together to help codify true positives and false positives, so that overlapping vendor data has many fewer false positives, thus improving the results of using multi - scanning .
also vendors share whitelist (trusted file) data. our whitelist database accumulates the data from many vendors, which also reduces false positive detection rates .
every engine returns some false positives, but it is incorrect to assume that using two engines results in double the number of false positives. overlap in the detection of false positives using multi - scanning, limits the number of new false positives added by each new engine, as our multi - scanning research demonstrates. when we use more engines, the amount of false positives does go up, but only by a small, fractional amount, which is outweighed by the many benefits of multi - scanning.
