Actionable Threat Intelligence Extraction with VMRay

Cultivate Intelligence on targeted and previously unseen threats with the leading threat intelligence platform

The challenges of CTI teams

For government agencies, military contractors, and large organizations in industry, the breadth of intelligence from commercial threat intelligence feeds is never enough to proactively maintain cyber-defenses.

Many organizations struggle to curate their own threat intelligence to identify and mitigate malware and phishing threats specifically targeting their organization or industry vertical.

Commercial Threat Feeds Lack Context

Current commercial threat data feeds do not provide complete, detailed intelligence to fully defend against previously unknown, specifically targeted, or custom crafted attacks.

Intelligence Curation is Not an Easy Task

Many organizations struggle to develop and maintain an authoritative, accurate source of cyber threat intelligence relevant to their attack surface and protection needs.

Tactical Intelligence Demands Accuracy

Due to technology limitations, using generic or open-source malware sandbox solutions to generate accurate IOCs can be challenging, with differing results, incorrect verdicts, and overlooked IOC artifacts..

Polluting Repositories with False Data

Exporting misclassified artifacts into a third-party threat database may pollute the repository, leading to false alerts which may negatively impact production networks

The VMRay Solution for Threat Intelligence Extraction

Supplement existing cyber threat intelligence repositories with targeted, specific threat information.

Noise-free tactical IOCs

VMRay allows for the collection of threat intelligence by analyzing malware and phishing attacks down to the lowest level of code to extract noise free IOCs.

MITRE ATT&CK mapping

Enhance operational threat intelligence with MITRE ATT&CK mapping to identify potential attack vectors and threat actor TTPs.

Mitigate zero-day threats faster

IOCs can be used by Detection Engineering Teams to diminish any current or future threat that expose organizational risk before any mitigating vendor signatures become available.

Exportable to central threat repositories

VMRay supports multiple formats for exporting IOCs to other security tools and threat repositories, including JSON, CSV and STIX 2.1.

The benefits of extracting threat intelligence with VMRay

Context to help understand an attack accurately.

Correlation of indicators from inside an environment with external threat intelligence data provides context to help understand the who, what, where, when, why, and how of an attack.

Stay one step ahead

VMRay provides evidentiary knowledge of threat indicators and their implications, with actionable information about an existing or emerging threat, to enable you to make informed decisions.

Keep infrastructure secure

Detection Engineering teams can quickly mitigate threats that pose a risk to their infrastructure using IOCs to create Firewall rules, detection signatures, and policy updates.

Maintain control of your threat data

On-premises deployment can ensure organizations maintain security and control of submitted samples and threat analysis data.

Support proactive threat hunting

With deep analysis of all critical IOCs and artifacts that may indicate compromise, Threat Hunting Teams can rapidly identify emerging threats.

Demystifying Threat Intelligence Extraction: FAQs

1. What types of threat intelligence does VMRay's platform support?

VMRay unites reputation analysis, static analysis, next-generation sandboxing, and machine learning into one single platform. Using VMRay to identify malware and phishing threats provides uncurated tactical, operational, and strategic threat intelligence on known and previously unknown Zero-Day threats.

 

Supplementing existing threat intelligence repositories with target specific threat information, VMRay helps SOC teams gain valuable insights to anticipate new threats and become more proactive when deploying defenses and mitigating attacks.

No. VMRay’s sandbox technology allows organizations to curate their own threat intelligence with threat information specific to their own ecosystem. Organizations build their own threat intelligence because it allows them to better understand the threat landscape and the potential risks specifically targeting their company. This understanding can help Security Operations Center (SOC) teams to develop more effective security strategies, including better security policies, and improved incident response plans.

 

By sharing threat information and collaborating with external partners as well as other organizations in their industry, Governmental and commercial organizations can better identify and respond to targeted threats, potentially reducing the overall impact of cyber-attacks to better comply with regulatory requirements.

Typically, a malware or URL sample would require manual triage to identify if it was malicious or benign. Manual malware analysis is not scalable, even if the organization’s cybersecurity team has the necessary skills. Security teams require a more efficient approach to develop internal threat intelligence that can support their decisions and actions.

With VMRay’s sandbox technology, submitted samples are analyzed in minutes, not hours or days to provide the IOCs and artifacts necessary to identify compromised systems and mitigate threats. It accelerates incident response to speed investigations to resolution, while at the same time contributing to an overall reduction in MTTD and MTTR.
