Announcing Content Disarm and Reconstruction for Linux
Our powerful MetaDefender data sanitization (Content Disarm and Reconstruction) technology is intended to keep any organization safe from document-borne malware, malware-carrying images, and other infected files. We are excited to announce the beta release of data sanitization (CDR) for Linux® to extend this protection to Linux systems.
With this beta release of Linux data sanitization, MetaDefender will be able to protect even more endpoints and systems.
