Kyiv – October 2, 2024 – BAKOTECH, an international true value-added IT distributor, signed an distribution agreement with OPSWAT, a global leader in critical infrastructure protection (CIP) cybersecurity solutions with headquarters in Florida, United States. OPSWAT consistently advances its comprehensive platform to empower public and private sector organizations and businesses in the region with the essential benefits they need to protect their complex networks and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.  

As cyber threats increase in both frequency and sophistication, traditional detection-based cybersecurity measures often struggle to protect vital infrastructure. OPSWAT’s mission is to eliminate malware and zero-day threats while enabling secure processes for secure file and data transfers and access control to devices. 

OPSWAT’s MetaDefender platform is built on patented technologies and provides unparalleled protection for mission-critical systems, specifically designed to counter modern cyber threats, including zero-day attacks and AI-based malware. These technologies include proprietary Deep Content Disarm and Reconstruction (Deep CDR), which effectively detects and neutralizes threats before they can inflict damage. Multiscanning scans files with over 30 anti-malware engines on-premises and in the cloud to achieve higher malware detection rates. Additionally, File-based Vulnerability Assessment detects application vulnerabilities before they are installed, and Proactive Data Loss Prevention (DLP) detects and blocks sensitive data in files and emails. 

These technologies are incorporated into the vendor’s broad portfolio of solutions, including:  

• Secure remote connection in IT and OT  
• Unidirectional data transmission  
• Managed file transfer  
• Protection of peripheral and removable media  
• Analysis of malicious software  
• Email security  
• And other requests
     

98% of US nuclear facilities trust OPSWAT for cybersecurity and regulatory compliance. A few of the 1,700 global customers of OPSWAT include Zoom, Hitachi Energy, EPAM and Berlin-Brandenburg Airport.
