Advanced Threat Detection and Analysis by VMRay

In the VMRay Sandbox, an isolated virtual machine, potentially unsafe software code can be executed and analyzed automatically at different levels of detail, without affecting network resources or local applications. Sandbox solutions play an essential role in detecting:

• unknown malware – so-called zero-day attacks
• highly evasive malware – polymorphic threats that constantly change their identifiable characteristics
• complex, targeted attacks – e.g. politically motivated Advanced Persistent Threats

Highly resistant to sandbox evasion:

VMRay’s hypervisor-based sandbox is virtually invisible to malware and therefore does not trigger evasion or obfuscation attempts. Company-specific golden images can be used to align the sandbox environment as closely as possible with the real production environment. This makes it possible to uncover targeted attacks that activate only on systems belonging to the intended victim and therefore look for specific indicators. Geo-location settings also allow the sandbox to simulate company systems in different countries.

Full visibility into malware activities:

VMRay’shigh-performance dynamic malware analysis captures every interaction between the malware and the target system. This provides the level of detail required for deep insight. Incident response teams gain precise visibility into tactics, behavior patterns and the potential impact of the malware, helping them identify attack vectors more effectively.

Elimination of background noise and false alarms:

“Alert Fatigue” has become a serious issue for security teams. They are overwhelmed with alerts and must spend significant effort distinguishing real threats from false positives.
VMRay’s technologies can extract reliable IOCs (Indicators of Compromise) from large volumes of forensic data. At the same time, conspicuous but benign “background noise” is filtered out, e.g. when justified interactions of the Adobe program with the system environment take place during the analysis of a suspicious pdf file. All of this is fully automated and significantly reduces workload for security teams.

VMRay FinalVerdict – The source of truth for security automation.

The automation of security processes or hyper-automation is becoming increasingly important for security teams. The high volume and low quality of alerts, combined with the shortage of skilled cybersecurity professionals, is a clear signal that SOC productivity must be prioritised.

With VMRay FinalVerdict, organisations can address these challenges by automating, accelerating and scaling the triage and investigation of alerts. In doing so, they receive clean, accurate information that can be used to automate downstream tasks.

VMRay FinalVerdict provides timely and meaningful verdicts on malware and phishing threats in high-alert environments, increasing SOC productivity. Through seamless integrations using dedicated connectors or a REST API, FinalVerdict can sort alerts received from EDR systems, investigate alerts for SOAR playbooks, enrich them, and automatically validate user-reported phishing alerts.

VMRay DeepResponse – The solution for analyzing malware and phishing

VMRay DeepResponse is built on the most advanced sandbox technology for malware and phishing analysis, addressing the major challenge faced by SOC analysts, incident responders, threat hunters and detection engineers: time-consuming manual analysis processes that prevent them from staying ahead of new and unknown threats.

DeepResponse produces detailed reports without unnecessary noise — delivering exactly the information required to contain and respond to unknown, targeted or sophisticated file- and URL-based threats. Designed with a focus on speed and efficiency, VMRay DeepResponse reduces incident response times and improves the ROI of time-consuming threat analysis processes.

VMRay TotalInsight – Building reliable, actionable, and customized Threat Intelligence

VMRay introduces TotalInsight to help organisations stay ahead of emerging threats and targeted attacks. With VMRay TotalInsight, government agencies, organisations in highly regulated industries and MSSPs can create their own customised threat intelligence tailored to targeted, industry-specific attacks. TotalInsight is designed for threat-intelligence teams that require scalability and efficiency in their processes.
