Safeguard Cloud Data Storage
In the ever-evolving digital landscape, the need for robust cybersecurity solutions has never been more crucial. OPSWAT, a leading cybersecurity company, has expanded its ecosystem with the introduction of MetaDefender Secure Storage, a solution designed specifically to protect cloud-based data storage systems.
MetaDefender Secure Storage offers triple protection for corporate cloud storage, ensuring that sensitive, confidential, and personal data are safeguarded against theft or accidental sharing. This innovative solution natively integrates with various manufacturers' cloud storage systems, offering seamless protection across multiple platforms.
The workflow management in MetaDefender for Secure Storage allows for tailored measures based on data, status, and users. This means that different levels of protection can be applied according to the sensitivity and importance of the data being stored.
OPSWAT's MetaDefender for Secure Storage also prevents the export of confidential and personal data, providing an additional layer of security. It combines the functions of Anti-Malware Multiscanner, File Disinfection, and Proactive Data Loss Prevention (DLP) to protect cloud storage systems from malware, zero-day attacks, and unauthorised data transfers.
While cloud storage offers numerous benefits such as reduced operating costs and the elimination of the need for server provisioning, it also presents certain challenges. These include insufficient availability or bandwidth problems, unstable connections, lack of transparency, and the risk of hacker and malware attacks.
Hybrid solutions offered by cloud storage providers, such as Dell, Amazon (AWS), Microsoft (Azure, OneDrive, SharePoint Online, Teams), and others, are globally deployed but increase the attack surface for companies. Among the disadvantages of these solutions are poorly thought-out or customer-unfriendly permission systems, which can lead to potential data misuse.
To address these concerns, OPSWAT's MetaDefender Secure Storage provides a comprehensive solution. It displays the status of all services in the dashboard, ensuring transparency and visibility for administrators. Furthermore, it disinfects all residual risks such as zero-day malware, providing an extra level of assurance for businesses.
Recently, many cloud storage providers have placed their data centers in Europe to prevent data transfer to the USA. This move towards regional data storage is a testament to the growing concern for data privacy and security. With MetaDefender Secure Storage, businesses can rest assured that their cloud data storage is protected, regardless of where it is located.
In conclusion, OPSWAT's MetaDefender Secure Storage is a valuable addition to the cybersecurity ecosystem, offering businesses a robust solution to protect their cloud-based data storage systems from a wide range of threats.
