MetaDefender Storage Security - 2026 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

MetaDefender Storage Security is an enterprise data storage solution that delivers secure, scalable file management across on-premises, hybrid, and cloud environments in a single deployable platform. The system is designed for organizations that require strong protection for data at rest and need to meet compliance requirements for regulations such as HIPAA, GDPR, and PCI DSS. The platform enables secure collaboration across diverse storage environments while preserving data integrity and auditability. The solution addresses the essential need to safeguard stored files and maintain regulatory adherence in complex IT infrastructures.

The platform applies a multi-layered security approach that combines several advanced technologies to protect against threats and vulnerabilities. Metascan multiscanning technology integrates various anti-malware engines to detect a broad spectrum of malicious content and reduce exposure to potential threats. Deep CDR technology sanitizes multiple file types by removing harmful components and reconstructing safe files, including recursive treatment of nested archives and elimination of embedded scripts and macros. Proactive DLP detects sensitive or out-of-policy data to prevent compliance violations and file-based vulnerability assessment identifies application and file vulnerabilities prior to installation. An adaptive sandbox component delivers zero-day malware detection with processing speeds that outperform traditional sandbox solutions.

MetaDefender Storage Security supports native and compatible integration with a wide range of storage platforms. Cloud object storage support includes AWS S3, Azure Blob Storage, Google Cloud Storage, and Alibaba Cloud alongside S3-compatible services such as Wasabi, Cloudian, Oracle Cloud, MinIO, and Cubbit. Integration with file storage systems encompasses Azure Files, SharePoint Online, SharePoint On-Premises, OneDrive, Box, and MetaDefender Managed File Transfer. Network-attached storage compatibility covers NetApp ONTAP and Dell EMC Isilon via SMB and NFS protocols as well as AWS EFS via NFS. These integrations enable consistent security controls across heterogeneous storage environments.
