Versa and OPSWAT Partner to Boost SASE Device Security

Versa, a global frontrunner in Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) technology, has entered into a strategic partnership with OPSWAT, an established name in critical infrastructure cybersecurity. This collaboration is aimed at significantly enhancing the real-time security posture monitoring capabilities embedded within the Versa SASE Client.

Elevating Real-Time Security with Integrated Intelligence

The Versa SASE Client is designed to seamlessly blend connectivity and security, giving users and their devices the ability to access networks securely while dynamically adapting to evolving threat landscapes. With the integration of OPSWAT’s MetaDefender Endpoint Security SDK, the client now enables IT administrators to assess device security posture in real time. This improvement supports automated endpoint validation and enforces Zero Trust access policies, which together work to shrink the organization’s overall attack surface.

Unlocking Advanced Security Capabilities with MetaDefender

At the heart of this partnership lies the MetaDefender Endpoint Security SDK – a modular, cross-platform toolkit built to power sophisticated endpoint protection solutions. It serves as a comprehensive framework for software developers and technology vendors to design security applications tailored to dynamic enterprise needs. A key component of the SDK is its Device Compliance Module, which helps developers build features that assess device posture, detect potentially unwanted applications, and enable secure remote access.

“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, Senior Director of Product Management at Versa. “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 Hamid Karimi, Vice President of Technical Alliances and OEM at OPSWAT. “With OPSWAT MetaDefender Endpoint Security SDK, Versa customers can confidently ensure device compliance and security before network access, providing better defense against today’s evolving cybersecurity threats.”

Enabling Zero Trust and Beyond

This SDK integration extends Versa’s ability to support Zero Trust frameworks by delivering deeper, more granular insight into device compliance. As organizations increasingly shift to remote and hybrid work models, having these enhanced capabilities allows for secure access, better compliance with corporate policies, and stronger protection across distributed IT environments.
