When IT software and services company EPAM Systems needed to protect critical infrastructure to best serve hundreds of Fortune 1000 customers, it chose the Opswat MetaAccess platform for both on-prem and cloud assets.
EPAM Systems provides digital platform engineering and software development services to solve its clients business-critical challenges worldwide, alongside the rise in remote working and need to manage global projects.
« The MetaAccess platform reported devices with unpatched applications or blocked access of devices with critical vulnerabilities of operating systems or third party applications, such as Adobe, Apple, and others, » the company said.
« [It] reported non-compliant devices and configured some policies with self-remediations: for example, the status of antimalware definitions—non-compliant device protection to ensure devices are compliant with existing policies. »
EPAM reports achieving comprehensive secure access for all its remote workers and clients across 45,000 remote devices.
The firm needed an integrated security solution for zero-trust networks that provides secure access to digital assets on the premises as well as in public and private clouds.

Other benefits of Opswat MetaAccess
« [Opswat] MetaAccess continuously detects, blocks and disables unwanted applications such as peer-to-peer applications, browser plugins, and unauthorised remote access tools, » it said.
MetaAccess also continuously scans device memory using more than 20 anti-malware engines via Opswat’s MetaDefender Cloud platform — giving the highest rate of detection and blocking of endpoints from malware not detected by local anti-malware applications.
Opswat delivers visibility, control, and compliance of every EPAM device across all employees and third-party contractors prior to network and application access. The company uses both multi-scanning and deep CDR (content disarm and reconstruction) technologies from Opswat to help protect against the loss of sensitive or confidential information.
