Annual recurring revenue for OPSWAT’s MetaDefender Storage Security™ by nearly 60% in 2025. As data consumption and with that storage environments continue to expand, file-based risk compounds by persisting over time, duplicating across repositories and reentering environments during recovery. MetaDefender Storage Security strengthens enterprise data protection by providing consistent inspection, policy-driven remediation, and audit-ready reporting throughout data’s full lifecycle.
Files are the common denominator of modern attacks and critical business processes.
The success of our MetaDefender Storage Security platform reflects a market shift toward prevention-first storage security that focuses on clean data. Organizations want to verify files are safe before restoring them from backup and need secure ways to inspect complex files that legacy security tools can’t safely analyze.
Global market intelligence provider International Data Corporation expects the external enterprise storage systems market to grow by 6.3% in 2026. Meanwhile, industry estimates project the global cloud storage market to increase at an annual compound rate of 18.8%. Expansion across both on-premises and cloud storage indicates sustained demand for solutions that safeguard stored information across environments such as MetaDefender Storage Security.
The latest MetaDefender Storage Security release strengthens enterprise data protection capabilities by embedding comprehensive security directly into storage operations. One of the most significant additions in this version is Identity Scanning: an ability to track and report on scans by user identity, providing granular visibility into who accessed or modified files across enterprise storage environments. Complementing this, Cross Domain Toxic Workload Handling provides a controlled, isolated environment for securely transferring and inspecting large, complex files, such as ISOs, installers, and containers, across networks of differing trust levels, ensuring that potentially malicious content is safely contained and cannot propagate into higher-security environments.
