Reduce the workload of manual analyses by 90%. The clarity, speed, and reliability of VMRay’s analyses maximizes the performance of DFIR and CERT teams.
What is Incident Response?
Incident response is a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy that involves detecting, containing, and mitigating security threats. It combines reactive measures to address current breaches with proactive tactics like threat hunting to prevent future incidents, ultimately strengthening an organization’s overall security posture.
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.
VMRay can observe, log and report malicious activities all the way to the end of their execution. This way, the VMRay incident response platform provides an in-depth picture of the malware and phishing samples.
With its hypervisor-based sandboxing technology, VMRay remains invisible to even the most evasive malware. This enables comprehensive threat analysis with accurate results.
Your organization can extract threat intelligence with VMRay’s clear reports and pre-filtered IOCs. Unlike the third-party threat repositories, this intel is highly relevant to the threats your organization is facing.
Definitive verdicts support accurate, automated incident management
EDR and XDR solutions when combined with a SIEM or SOAR solution can correlate data across a broader spectrum of disparate security devices, including endpoint, network activity. With VMRay, definitive malware verdicts support assured, automated response actions.
Check the full reports, explore the network connections, see the details on malicious behavior, map the threat on MITRE ATT&CK Framework, download IOCs and artifacts, and much more.
The VMRay platform performs automated malware triage and phishing analysis of samples submitted either manually or via API integration into many of the leading Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), Extended Detection and Response (XDR), Security Orchestration, Automation and Response (SOAR) and Threat Intelligence Platforms (TIP) security solutions.
While the VMRay platform does not directly perform automated incident response actions, the definitive verdict of malicious or benign malware submissions enables EDR/XDR/SOAR solutions to make confident, automated response actions via playbooks and workflows to critical incidents.
For incident response automation to be successful, suspicious or previously unknown malware or phishing alerts from EDR/XDR/SOAR solutions must be fully analyzed using Dynamic Analysis to identify any malicious behavior and the extraction of IOCs. The IOCs can then be used in the incident response process to fully mitigate the threat.
The sophistication of phishing emails today allows a small number to bypass perimeter email gateways and point phishing solutions, increasing the risk of human error to occur. End users not educated in identifying malicious phishing emails may accidently click on a malicious attachment or link by mistake, putting their organization at risk of a breach.
VMRay’s User Reported Phishing feature, combined with end-user education on phishing threats allows organizations to supplement their detection fabric with human eyeballs trained to spot potentially malicious email threats. These phishing threats can then be forwarded to the VMRay abuse mailbox and automatically analyzed without SOC intervention. If the email is malicious, the end user is notified, and the SOC receives the final analysis and IOCs used to mitigate the threat, speeding incident resolution.
