MetaDefender Cloud Email Security™ is an advanced solution that bolsters Microsoft 365’s native email defenses with industry-leading threat prevention. It is purpose-built to detect and neutralize malware, zero-day exploits, and embedded file-based threats before they reach the inbox.

This solution is powered by OPSWAT’s Metascan™ Multiscanning, adding more AV (antivirus) engines, MetaDefender Aether Sandbox for advanced dynamic threat analysis, and Deep CDR™ (Content Disarm & Reconstruction) against file-based threats. By combining signature-based detection, behavioral sandboxing, and proactive content sanitization, email security extends beyond traditional defenses to identify and neutralize both known and zero-day threats. With multi-layered, proactive protection and advanced technologies designed to combat evolving attack techniques, the solution deploys rapidly and integrates seamlessly without disrupting mail flow.

Enhancements

• Added a dedicated Invalid File Structure verdict under Zero-Day Malware Prevention with its own policy action, Event/Quarantine/SIEM filters, dashboard chart series, and statistics, plus a one-time migration that re-labels historical Suspicious invalid-structure events (upgrade behavior matches the prior Suspicious action).

• Excluded Invalid File Structure events from Advanced Threat Prevention totals so they no longer inflate threat counts.

• Added an Un-Sanitized Files section to the Dashboard with a top-5 file-types chart and counters for Sanitization Failures, Unsupported File Types, and Invalid File Structure.

• Added human-readable Microsoft Exchange anti-spam labels (SCL, BCL, SFV, CAT, dest) to Event Details, grouped by spam detection and threat analysis.

• Enabled drill-down into child files of non-archive containers such as .ics calendar invites.

Bugs

• Corrected the per-integration user count for tenants with multiple M365 integrations.

• Replaced the maintenance page shown when releasing an email past the retention window with a clear "no longer available" message.

• Fixed a document_parsing_exception that prevented SIEM MESSAGE_PROCESSING events from being delivered.

• Adjusted the SIEM HTTP Custom Header form — renamed "API key" to "Header value" and "Custom Header" to "Header name", and aligned the input width with the destination dropdown.

• Fixed the wrong value displayed for the current hour on Dashboard charts.

• Reconciled top blocked sender and recipient counts between the Dashboard and the Scan Report for the same time window.

• Corrected text alignment in Advanced Threat Detection and renamed "Suspicious (Sandbox)" to "Suspicious (Aether)".

• Stopped the event list from clearing its column headers during refresh.
