Universal SASE technology vendor Versa partnered with OPSWAT, which provides critical infrastructure protection (CIP) cybersecurity solutions. With this deal, the companies plan to enhance real-time device security monitoring for the Versa SASE Client. Versa’s SASE Client integrates connectivity and security, supporting real-time, best-path routing and security policy enforcement based on zero trust and device security posture.
Versa is integrating OPSWAT’s MetaDefender endpoint security SDK into SASE Client.
“Remote workers and BYOD users need access to critical business systems and data; however, this increases organizations’ threat risks if endpoint devices are not secure,” said Anusha Vaidyanathan, Versa’s senior director of product management. “This partnership enables Versa customers to apply OPSWAT’s MetaDefender endpoint security SDK directly within our VersaONE Universal SASE platform. As businesses continue to operate in cloud and hybrid settings, this joint solution enables IT teams to minimize risk by verifying device security and compliance policies before granting access to secure company systems.”
“Our partnership with Versa validates OPSWAT’s commitment to securing critical infrastructure by integrating advanced endpoint compliance capabilities directly into the VersaONE Universal SASE platform,” said OPSWAT VP of technical alliances and OEM, Hamid Karimi. “With OPSWAT MetaDefender endpoint decurity SDK, Versa customers can confidently ensure device compliance and security before network access, providing better defense against today’s evolving cybersecurity threats.”
The MetaDefender SDK offers a cross-platform, modular framework that serves as an endpoint security software development platform, allowing software engineers and technology vendors to build endpoint security products. The SDK’s device compliance module helps software engineers implement features for applications such as device posture assessment, as well as for potentially unwanted applications, allowing them to deliver secure remote access, compliance, network access control, remote support and other capabilities to end customers.
Versa’s SASE Client with OPSWAT enhancements is available as part of Versa’s universal SASE platform.
