Pricing

Primarily enterprise quote-based pricing, varying by cloud versus on-premises deployment, files scanned/day, throughput, devices/users, modules, support, and hardware. Public third-party estimates suggest cloud entry tiers around $500–$1,200/month, but these are not official OPSWAT list prices.

Differentiators

—Prevention-first approach rather than detection alone
—Deep CDR sanitizes known and unknown threats without relying solely on signatures
—Multiscanning across 30+ antivirus engines
—Coverage spanning IT, OT, ICS, and cross-domain environments
—Combination of software, hardware, data-diodes, secure-transfer, and removable-media products
—Offline and air-gapped deployment options
—Integration with major enterprise/security ecosystems and compliance frameworks
—In-house hardware production and global follow-the-sun support footprint
