More clarity from every Microsoft alert.

VMRay is a Microsoft Intelligent Security Association (MISA) member. Our integrations with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, Microsoft Defender for Office, and Microsoft Sentinel turn each alert into a verdict your SOC can act on, and push the IOCs back into your Microsoft Security stack to block what comes next.

// 01 / THE SHIFT

What's actually in your queue

The era of the single malicious link is fading. What's landing in SOC queues today is multi-stage delivery chains designed to slip past automated defenses, and only reveal their intent three layers in.

Clean-looking emails carrying password-protected documents. PDFs with embedded QR codes. Redirects through legitimate services. ClickFix payloads that surface only after a series of interactions across multiple layers.

Microsoft Security catches the alert. The question for your team is the one that comes next: what is this, what would it have done, and can the verdict be trusted enough to move on?

An advanced delivery chain
// 02 / THE VALUE

Verdict. IOCs. Depth. Built into the workflow you already run.

Inside the Microsoft console, and ready when your team needs to go deeper. Three things that change when VMRay's analysis sits behind the alert.

// IN THE ALERT COMMENT

A verdict your analysts can act on

Malicious or not, the malware family, the threat classifications, and the top behaviors observed during detonation. A junior analyst reads it in seconds. An automated playbook acts on it without manual re-checks.

// MICROSOFT DEFENDER
// PUSHED TO DEFENDER INDICATORS

IOCs that block what comes next

The high-fidelity indicators extracted during analysis flow straight into Microsoft Defender indicators and Sentinel Threat Intelligence. No manual import. No copy-paste between consoles.

// MICROSOFT DEFENDER + SENTINEL
// ONE CLICK AWAY

The full picture, when you need it

When an alert turns into an investigation, the complete VMRay analysis is linked from the comment: full delivery chain, extracted malware configuration, MITRE ATT&CK TTPs, network traffic, and more.

Triage EDR alerts with deep behavioral analysis

Quarantined files and suspicious URLs from Defender alerts go through VMRay, automatically. The verdict, threat name, and top VTIs appear in the alert comment. IOCs are pushed to Defender indicators and block lists. The full recursive analysis is one click away.

Bring depth to the User Reported Phishing folder

Microsoft Defender for Office protects email at scale. VMRay adds depth where it matters most: in the User Reported Phishing folder, where the novel, evasive attacks tend to land. URLs and attachments are detonated automatically. QR codes are decoded and followed. Password-protected files are opened. ClickFix payloads are captured.

Gain full visibility into each stage of an attack

Streamline alert triage

Get instant clarity on Microsoft alerts

Enhance protection

Automatically add IOCs to prevent future attacks

A curated intelligence layer, built from threats you've faced

Every IOC produced by VMRay analysis flows directly into Sentinel Threat Intelligence, building a curated intelligence layer from threats already seen in your environment. The VMRay UniqueSignal feed is ingested via STIX/TAXII alongside it. Two complementary intelligence sources, ready for correlation and automation.

// 04 / THE FOUNDATION

Trust built on evasion resistance: why the verdicts are worth automating on

Security automation is only useful if the analysis layer feeding it can be trusted. Here's what makes VMRay's verdicts reliable enough to drive automation across your Microsoft Security stack.

// HYPERVISOR-BASED ANALYSIS

Threats designed to go quiet in other environments behave genuinely in VMRay's sandbox.

VMRay's analysis runs in a hypervisor-based analysis environment, operating below the OS where malware cannot detect it. No agents visible to the sample. That's the foundation that makes the verdicts feeding your Microsoft Defender and Microsoft Sentinel reliable enough to automate on.

And it's the same foundation that makes the IOCs trustworthy: because the behavior they describe is what the malware actually did, not what it was prepared to show to a sandbox.
