Startignin 4.2.1, Malware Protection Test Drive analyzes the behavior of files and URLs to determine if they are malicious, in a secure isolated sandbox environment.

With Malware Protection, you'll manually submit files or URLs for analysis. You'll get a detailed analysis report including maliciousness score, type of activity detected, and risk estimate posed by the artifact.

Because it does not rely only on signatures and hashes, Malware Protection can detect novel and highly targeted malware that has never been seen before. Malware Protection interacts with the malware to elicit every malicious behavior, including identifying dormant code and documenting all CPU instructions executed. Finally, Malware Protection identifies the memory (RAM) locations accessed by the artifact being analyzed.

Malware Protection Test Drive provides a complete malware analysis system for your threat analysts and incident response teams. It safely executes malware samples, analyzes URLs, and provides visibility into malicious behavior, even when the malicious objects are hidden inside encrypted traffic. This enables your threat researchers to safely and efficiently analyze the malicious objects used in advanced and targeted attacks.
