OPSWAT Supercharges Malware Defense with SentinelOne AI in Multiscanning Platform
In a strategic move aimed at reinforcing cybersecurity for critical infrastructure, OPSWAT has partnered with SentinelOne to integrate its AI/ML detection capabilities into OPSWAT’s flagship Metascan™ Multiscanning platform.
The integration arms OPSWAT’s malware detection engine with SentinelOne’s autonomous threat hunting smarts—giving enterprises a faster, sharper edge against ransomware, zero-day exploits, and polymorphic malware across both Windows and Linux environments.
For critical infrastructure sectors, where downtime is costly and data breaches are catastrophic, this isn’t just a product enhancement—it’s a timely upgrade.
Why This Partnership Matters
The stakes for modern malware detection have never been higher. Critical infrastructure—from energy and healthcare to finance and transportation—is under siege from increasingly evasive, AI-powered attacks. Traditional detection methods relying solely on signatures or heuristics are struggling to keep pace.
OPSWAT’s Metascan already deploys over 30 anti-malware engines simultaneously, leveraging signature, heuristic, and machine learning models. But with SentinelOne’s AI layer added to the stack, detection accuracy is now being pushed toward the upper limit of 99%, with increased precision in identifying zero-day and polymorphic threats.
And unlike many cloud-tethered security solutions, the OPSWAT-SentinelOne fusion is cloud-independent—a vital feature for air-gapped or heavily regulated environments where data privacy and operational autonomy are paramount.
“Integrating SentinelOne’s AI detections strengthens Metascan’s multilayered defense,” said Tom Mullen, SVP of Business Development at OPSWAT. “This means faster, smarter protection against today’s most sophisticated threats.”
AI That Doesn’t Just Detect—It Predicts and Adapts
SentinelOne’s detection engines aren’t built for passive threat logging—they’re designed to identify malicious behavior in real time, before damage is done. By embedding this intelligence into Metascan, OPSWAT customers gain access to predictive defense capabilities, allowing earlier and more decisive action across operational technology (OT) and IT environments.
The result? A malware detection framework that adapts as fast as adversaries evolve.
“We’re delivering joint value that helps organizations elevate their threat detection strategies,” said Melissa K. Smith, VP of Strategic Tech Partnerships at SentinelOne. “This collaboration is about staying ahead in a landscape where the threats move faster than ever.”
Available Now, Wherever You Operate
The integration is immediately available in the latest release of Metascan Multiscanning and is fully compatible with OPSWAT’s MetaDefender Core, MetaDefender ICAP Server, and MetaDefender Kiosk. That means support across both on-premises and cloud deployments—key for global enterprises balancing regulatory demands with operational flexibility.
With SentinelOne’s ML models now working in concert with OPSWAT’s broad anti-malware arsenal, organizations can scale AI-powered protection without overhauling existing security infrastructure.
The Bigger Picture: AI Arms Race in Cybersecurity
This partnership is part of a broader trend reshaping the security landscape: the move from reactive protection to autonomous threat prevention. AI is no longer a bonus layer—it’s the frontline.
Competitors like CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks, and Sophos have also leaned hard into AI and ML-driven threat detection, but OPSWAT’s unique focus on multiscanning and critical infrastructure sets it apart. With the addition of SentinelOne’s tech, it now offers one of the most comprehensive malware filtering stacks in the industry, tailored for the high-risk, high-compliance sectors others often overlook.
