Case Study: Swiss Re secures web applications with OPSWAT MetaDefender

Swiss Re scans files in milliseconds with OPSWAT

Swiss Re, a major global reinsurance company, faced the challenge of securing web applications and file uploads from customers and partners against malware threats. This was critical to protect sensitive client data and ensure compliance with regulations like GDPR and FINMA. They partnered with OPSWAT and implemented the MetaDefender platform to scan all incoming files at the network edge before they could enter their internal systems.

OPSWAT's solution, specifically the MetaDefender Core ICAP Server, was deployed in Swiss Re's Azure container environment. This provided advanced multiscanning with multiple antivirus engines for high detection rates and integrated seamlessly with their micro-services architecture. The results for Swiss Re included scalable web application security, enterprise-class performance that met internal SLAs, and significant overall savings from a fast deployment. OPSWAT delivered a secure, efficient method for handling vast web traffic.
