MetaDefender v7.6.2603 リリース 

We’re excited to launch MetaDefender Endpoint Plus with embedded anti-malware engines, bringing continuous, uninterrupted protection across our key features: Peripheral Media Protection, Download Protection, and Malware Scan.

MetaDefender Endpoint now extends its Peripheral Media Protection capability to Windows ARM64 devices, bringing the same robust security controls to a broader range of modern endpoints. This extended support enables consistent protection against unauthorized or risky removable media, helping organizations secure every device without gaps.

This release enables greater device control through enhanced endpoint hardware health reporting, including temperature, RAID status, and drive failure insights. These capabilities help administrators and IT teams proactively detect issues, reduce downtime, and maintain optimal device performance across environments.

The new Patch Management admin view introduces an interactive dashboard and a streamlined way to manage devices, missing patches, and deployments. This improved visibility and auditability enable organizations to track patch status, manage deployments, enforce compliance, and stay ahead of vulnerabilities more efficiently. Administrators can now easily switch to the new Patch Management view through My OPSWAT™ Central Management to explore the updated configuration and deployment workflow.

The Managed File Transfer feature is now supported on macOS devices, enabling secure, controlled file movement across endpoints. This enhancement helps organizations enforce consistent data transfer policies, reduce the risk of unauthorized file sharing, and maintain greater visibility and control over their macOS devices.

This release introduces effortless language switching, enabling users to quickly select English, Spanish, Arabic, Japanese, or Hebrew. This is accessible from the tray icon for Peripheral Media Protection and Peripheral Device Control features, making the experience more intuitive and accessible for global teams.

We have added a new warning pop-up to help prevent users from unintentionally removing critical files. This extra check enables organizations to reduce data loss risks, avoid operational disruptions, and maintain greater control over sensitive assets.

We’ve improved the update mechanism to timely retrieve the latest vulnerability and patch databases when available regardless of local system time, enabling more reliable, consistent protection and up-to-date defenses across all environments.

In this release, applications can be disabled 3x faster, using Application Control, for quicker response to threats and minimizing exposure time across endpoints.

We’ve also improved classification accuracy for applications by optimizing categorization workflows within the Application Control feature, ensuring applications are identified more precisely and policies are enforced with greater confidence.

We’ve added the ability to pause and resume malware scans, giving users control over how and when scans run. This enhancement optimizes scanning bandwidth and enables more flexible task prioritization, enabling continuous protection without disrupting critical workflows.

With the new release, user login detection has been improved on devices running the latest Ubuntu 25, ensuring the user interface runs smoothly and reliably. In addition, MetaDefender Endpoint now supports Linux Wayland-only environments, expanding compatibility with modern Linux systems and delivering a more consistent, seamless user experience.

The new release of MetaDefender Endpoint Validation includes support for allowlisting TMPS3 USB devices, exempting them from the blocking period and enabling auto-run processes to access the drives during initialization for seamless device operation. This enhancement helps reduce delays for trusted devices while maintaining security controls.
