Metadefender Endpoint (formerly OPSWAT Gears) For Mac

Metadefender Endpoint (formerly OPSWAT Gears) is a security tool designed to help you keep track of your computer’s level of safety in order to make sure any data leak is avoided.

The utility can connect to the OPSWAT Cloud to give you the possibility to monitor multiple devices through a single, well-organized web console.

The Metadefender Endpoint software archive comes with an installer package that takes care of the deployment process, and also installs a tool that will help you securely remove the utility if needed.

When launched, Metadefender Endpoint automatically scans your computer to determine your security score, and to detect possible infected files.

Note that the security score is determined by the status of different parameters: the presence of a firewall, if you are using a backup solution or not, if there are any antivirus solutions installed, and so on.

Metadefender Endpoint is using the 40 plus anti-malware engines provided by the Metascan Online service in order to detect possible infected files, which means that it might detect malware that went unnoticed by your default antivirus solution.

Within the Metadefender Endpoint user interface, you can choose to add your current device to your OPSWAT Cloud quickly. All you have to do is sign up for an OPSWAT free account and input your personal license key in the OPSWAT Gears “Manage My Device” panel.

To find your personal license key, login to your OPSWAT account via any browser, navigate to the “Configure” tab and open the “Account Settings” panel. The web console allows you to see all the devices associated with your account, together with their security status, and possible threats.

To conclude, OPSWAT Gears offers you the possibility to analyze your device's security settings and enables you to keep a close eye on their status from a remote location.
