OPSWAT completes FIPS 140-3 validation. 8th April 2026 Corsec would like to congratulate its partner, OPSWAT, Inc., on completing the Federal Information Processing Standard Publication 140-3 (FIPS 140-3) validation process on their OPSWAT Cryptographic Module. Completion of the FIPS 140-3 validation process provides reassurance and confirmation to users of the protection of sensitive information within their environment. To achieve this benchmark, OPSWAT partnered with Corsec, completing the validation at a Level 1 as seen in certificate #5225. For more information on the validation and to find additional details on the module's security policy, visit NIST's validated modules site. To learn more about engineering your product to meet Federal and regulated industry security requirements, schedule time to speak to a Corsec engineer. About FIPS 140. FIPS 140-2 / FIPS 140-3 are a joint effort by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the United States and the Communications Security Establishment Canada (CSEC), under the Canadian government. The Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP), headed by NIST, provides module and algorithm testing for FIPS 140, which applies to Federal agencies using validated cryptographic modules to protect sensitive government data in computer and telecommunication systems. FIPS 140 provides stringent third-party assurance of security claims on any product containing cryptography that may be purchased by a government agency. FIPS 140 is mandated by law in the U.S. and very strictly enforced in Canada. FIPS 140 has gained worldwide recognition as an important benchmark for third party validations of encryption products of all kinds. A FIPS 140 validation of a product provides end users with a high degree of product security, assurance, and dependability. About OPSWAT and their Cryptographic Module. OPSWAT protects critical infrastructure. Their goal is to eliminate malware and zero-day attacks. They believe that every file and every device pose a threat. Threats must be addressed at all locations at all times - at entry, at exit, and at rest. Their products focus on threat prevention and process creation for secure data transfer and safe device access. The result is productive systems that minimize risk of compromise. The OPSWAT Cryptographic Module is a cryptographic software library, intended for use by U.S. and Canadian Federal agencies and other markets that require FIPS 140-3 validated cryptographic functionality. About Corsec security, Inc. For over 28 years, Corsec has assisted companies through the IT security certification process for FIPS 140-2 / FIPS 140-3, Common Criteria (CC), CSfC, and DoD STIG / DoDIN APL. Corsec Security, Inc. is a privately owned company focused on partnering with organizations worldwide to assist with the process of security certifications and validations. Its certification methodology helps open doors to new markets and increase revenue for clients with products ranging from mobile phones to satellites. Its broad knowledge safeguards against common pitfalls and thwarts delays, translating to a swift and seamless path to certification. Corsec has created the benchmark for providing business leaders with fast, flexible access to industry knowledge on security certifications and validations.
OPSWAT has launched Predictive Alin AI, its first proprietary AI-based threat detection engine for the MetaDefender Platform. The machine learning engine evaluates file structure and patterns to predict malicious behaviour before execution, delivering results in under 100 milliseconds. The static analysis engine achieved 99.99% precision in identifying safe files during internal testing, prioritising near-zero false positives for operationally sensitive environments. When uncertain, the platform automatically triggers additional workflows for further assessment. Founded by CEO Benny Czarny, OPSWAT specialises in critical infrastructure protection cybersecurity solutions. The new AI engine operates as a decision confidence layer within multi-engine architectures, designed to enhance security team efficiency rather than replace human oversight. It functions identically in online and offline deployments with a small memory footprint.
OPSWAT launches ai-native pre-execution detection engine for MetaDefender Platform. TAMPA, Fla., April 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - OPSWAT, a global leader in critical infrastructure protection (CIP) cybersecurity solutions, today announced OPSWAT Predictive Alin AI, its first proprietary AI-based threat detection engine for the MetaDefender(TM) Platform. This AI-based innovation introduces a new category of capability within the MetaDefender Platform, a high-confidence predictive layer that works alongside existing detection and prevention engines to assess malicious intent before execution, driving greater efficiency across the platform. This enables organizations to act immediately, while minimizing the operational impacts of false positives. "At OPSWAT, we've always believed that security begins with prevention, and the assumption that every file is malicious. The Predictive Alin AI Engine wasn't built to replace your security team; it was built to make them more effective and efficient," said Benny Czarny, Founder and CEO of OPSWAT. "By delivering machine-learning verdicts in milliseconds - before execution, before detonation - we cut through the noise and eliminate the hesitation that costs organizations the most. Our AI-native capabilities give security teams the trust and clarity they need to act with confidence, turning smarter detection into stronger decisions at the speed enterprises demand." Precision-First AI Built for Real-World Operations OPSWAT Predictive Alin AI is a machine learning-based static analysis engine that evaluates file structure, entropy patterns, and semantic relationships to predict whether a file will behave in a malicious way, without solely relying on signatures or runtime execution. It delivers sub-100-millisecond inference for most files, operates with a small memory footprint, and performs identically in online and offline deployments. In an internal efficacy analysis, OPSWAT evaluated Predictive Alin AI, demonstrating: * 99.99% precision in identifying safe files, validated across months of production traffic testing to minimize noise and false positives. When uncertain, the MetaDefender(TM) Platform triggers additional workflows and data handling for further assessment of data automatically reinforcing the defense-in-depth concept. * A measurable uplift in overall efficiency when added to multiengine deployments. The results confirm that Predictive Alin AI currently performs best as a decision confidence layer within a multi-engine architecture, particularly in environments where false positives can disrupt operations, block critical workflows, or trigger costly response actions. "Raw detection rate is not the same as operational value," said Yiyi Miao, Chief Product Officer at OPSWAT. "Predictive Alin AI was engineered and evaluated with precision as the primary objective. When it fires, customers can have a high degree of confidence in that verdict, which is exactly what many enterprise environments need." Availability and Platform Integration Predictive Alin AI adds a proprietary predictive capability alongside MetaDefender's existing Metascan(TM) Multiscanning, Deep CDR(TM), and adaptive sandbox technologies. It is fully developed in-house by OPSWAT's data science and R&D teams and trained on curated, privacy-safe datasets from MetaDefender Aether telemetry, OPSWAT Threat Intelligence, and Unit 515 research. The model is continuously refined using correlated feedback across OPSWAT's ecosystem. The engine is already deployed in customer environments worldwide and is particularly relevant for defense, government, manufacturing, and energy sectors operating under strict regulatory and connectivity constraints. Predictive Alin AI is available today via MetaDefender Core(TM) for Windows and Linux as well as MetaDefender Cloud(TM).
