About

Gardience is a Windows and Linux fleet management platform built on Salt, available as self-managed software or a vendor-hosted service. It provides patching, CVE exposure checks, configuration and drift controls, and STIG- and CIS-aligned security baselines with exportable audit evidence. IT teams can inventory servers, schedule and approve changes, and review tamper-evident activity records. Ansible playbooks run through Gardience, while a Terraform provider can enroll new machines and apply configurations. A REST API and MCP server support automation and AI-agent workflows, with human approval required for changes. The product also offers CMMC Level 2 assessment workflows, including policy templates, evidence collection, and System Security Plan and POA&M support. It is designed for teams responsible for mixed Windows and Linux estates, including regulated and air-gapped environments.

About

With flexible deployment options purpose-built for your specific use case, MetaDefender ensures files entering, being stored on, and exiting your environment are safe—from the plant floor to the cloud. This solution uses a range of technologies to help your organization develop a comprehensive threat prevention strategy. MetaDefender protects organizations from advanced cybersecurity threats in data that originates from a variety of sources, such as web, email, portable media devices, and endpoints.
