Our take
Cyberattacks are becoming more sophisticated. For example, zero-day cyberattacks leverage vulnerabilities that are unknown even to the users and creators of a system. Tens of billions of dollars are being invested in protection, but OPSWAT delivers security solutions that nip the need for extra cyber defence in the bud.
The company's products focus on threat prevention, enacting a zero-trust mentality to ensure that technology systems are watertight from threats. For example, OPSWAT's MetaDefender platform incorporates advanced malware threat protection to detect vulnerable files and emails, as well as software, before it is even installed.
It’s this philosophy of “Trust No File, Trust No Device” that makes OPSWAT such a robust partner for the likes of AMEX and the United States Department of Justice. In addition to cyber protection products, the company also helps train future cyber defenders through its academy, which has trained 70,000 professionals so far.
