OPSWAT Collaborates with NetApp to Strengthen File Security Across Enterprise Storage Environments

Integration of OPSWAT's file security tools with NetApp's storage platform helps mitigate file-borne threats at the storage layer without disrupting workflows

TAMPA, Fla., Oct. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- OPSWAT, a global leader in critical infrastructure protection, today announced the integration of its MetaDefender Storage Security™ with NetApp^® ONTAP^®. This solution brings together OPSWAT's advanced file security tools with NetApp's widely adopted storage platforms to help organizations detect and prevent hidden malware, macro threats, sensitive data leakage, and file-borne vulnerabilities before they reach critical applications or users. Without disrupting existing workflows, this delivers advanced file security directly into on-premises, cloud, and hybrid storage environments.

"Organizations worldwide move massive volumes of files through the NetApp data platform and our storage systems daily," said Spencer Sells, Vice President, Global Alliances at NetApp. "By adding additional virus scanning capabilities from our partner ecosystem that enforce our position as the most secure storage on the planet, this new solution gives customers more choices in tools to stop file-borne threats before they spread, reduce compliance exposure, and keep critical operations running even as risks evolve."

The integration of OPSWAT with NetApp ONTAP provides multi-layered security capabilities for customers including:

• OPSWAT Metascan^™ Multiscanning,
• Deep CDR™ (content disarm and reconstruction),
• Proactive DLP™ (data loss prevention),
• A patented vulnerability assessment, and
• Adaptive sandbox technologies.

"Customers want file security that doesn't slow down business," said George Prichici, Vice President of Products at OPSWAT. "With OPSWAT MetaDefender Storage Security integrated into NetApp ONTAP for on-prem and cloud deployments, we help customers stop file-based threats at the storage layer and demonstrate controls for audits without changing workflows."

In addition to integration with NetApp ONTAP on-prem and in the cloud, MetaDefender Storage Security supports:

• Server Message Block (SMB),
• Network File System (NFS), and
• Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP)

This flexibility makes it easy to integrate with existing infrastructure and adapt to a wide range of deployment requirements.

NetApp is the intelligent data infrastructure company, combining unified data storage, integrated data, operational and workload services. As the only enterprise-grade storage service natively embedded in the world's biggest clouds, its data storage delivers seamless flexibility to manage any data, for any application, anywhere it's needed in an optimized, secured, and intelligent way.

The news comes at NetApp INSIGHT 2025, the company's flagship customer event for data infrastructure taking place in Las Vegas, October 14–16. As a NetApp Technology Alliance Partner, OPSWAT will deliver the theater presentation "Not Every File Deserves to Be Stored!".
