Why Malware Sandboxing Should be Part of your Advanced Threat Protection Strategy?

Why Malware Sandboxing for Advanced Threat Protection?

Keeping the organization safe from advanced threats sounds like a challenging task because it is. One of the key requirements is to quickly and efficiently detect malware, both known and unknown. As there is no single technology that can provide adequate protection, the recommended practice is to implement a tightly integrated, multi-layered approach where malware, should it escape one security control, is caught by the next.

A best-of-breed sandbox is therefore an essential component of a robust, multi-layered, comprehensive cyber protection strategy. Hence, Malware Sandboxing needs to be an integral part of your Advanced Threat Protection strategy.

VMRay Platform involves a ground-breaking sandbox, and 30+ best-of-breed technologies that bring additional capabilities to detect the threats that others miss.

Improved SOC Efficiency

Connected and automated workflows are the secret of a successful SOC. That is why a best-of-breed sandbox with strong process automation capabilities is an essential building block for SOC efficiency when staff resources are stretched thin, and teams are flooded with alerts from different sources. The right sandbox will be able to positively impact the most important SOC metrics, such as Time-to-Detection, Time-to-Qualify, Time-to-Triage, Time-to-Investigate, and Time-to-Respond.

VMRay Platform involves a best-of-breed sandbox as well as 30+ unique detection and analysis technologies. It empowers efficiency by supporting alert ingress from a large range of disparate sources. our platform also enables automating every stage of the malware and phishing detection & analysis process, and provides the information needed to confidently validate and triage alerts by the level of severity.

Effective Incident Response & Threat Hunting

Not surprisingly, advanced malware sandboxing is a foundational tool for incident response and threat hunting. Both are human-centric activities and rely on detailed insights into malware behavior, meaningful context and noise-free data to correlate events and connect the dots.

VMRay’s accurate, in-depth, noise-free reporting starts with the comprehensive data gathered during threat analysis. VMRay captures and categorizes every interaction between the malicious files and URLs and the analysis environment, down to the granular level of function logs. The reports present only the relevant information for understanding the threat behavior being analyzed – extraneous information is filtered out.

Improved SOC Efficiency

Security teams routinely invest in third-party threat intelligence services to provide external insights for automated malware detection, incident response, threat hunting, and vulnerability management. However, most security teams struggle to generate in-house threat intelligence that is based on unique attacks that they are currently seeing inside their networks: data that is not available from third parties.

With VMRay Analyzer, analysts can automatically extract highly reliable Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) from data gathered during threat analysis, creating actionable threat intelligence to enrich their third-party data. Cybersecurity blog
