Threat Hunting with VMRay

Uncover hidden malware threats effectively with laser-sharp IOCs and extensive behavioral analysis.

 

The challenges of Threat Hunters

For traditional security stack deployments, zero-day malware, Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs), and targeted phishing attacks can be especially difficult to detect and analyze.

Third party validation is critical to ensuring that suspicious threats are not dismissed as false positives and released back into the enterprise.

Endless attack vectors to circumvent detections

No single tool can detect all attacks. Ever-increasing number of attack vectors make it difficult for SOC teams to keep up and leaving organizations at a higher risk of being breached.

Limited knowledge of malware threats targeting your organization

Finding evidence of an undiscovered threat requires up-to-date and comprehensive information around past and current detections. Lack of insights on how the malware behaves on a host results in too much time spent by threat hunters.

Seeking results with unreliable indicators is hard

IOCs get outdated really fast as changing infrastructure is relatively easy for threat actors. Reaping the rewards of threat hunting requires the human element bolstered by up-to-the-indicators with context.
