ReversingLabs New Malware Lab Solution Enables Next Generation of Threat Hunting
Enhancements to ReversingLabs Titanium Platform Deliver Unified Threat Detection And Analysis Infrastructure at Scale to Identify Malicious Files

ReversingLabs, the leading provider of explainable threat intelligence solutions, announced the ReversingLabs Malware Lab solution. Designed to support modern security organizations increasingly delegating malware analysis to specific security operations (SOC) or development security operations (DevSecOps) experts, ReversingLabs Malware Lab solution equips these teams with the industry’s only unified threat analysis engine and console to rapidly detect, classify, analyze, and respond to malicious files and associated Indicators of Compromise (IOCs).

“Organizations are struggling to validate the effectiveness of their internal security controls and to respond to ever increasing quantities of actionable alerts. Homegrown and other complicated solutions have proven that responders are spending more time managing and integrating disparate technologies than addressing important alerts and incidents,” said Mario Vuksan, CEO and Co-Founder, ReversingLabs. “At its heart, all SOC workflows, no matter how automated, require human analysis to provide context and inform their final decision. ReversingLabs Malware Lab is uniquely positioned as a commercial solution to give the highest quality of insight and decision support. Moreover, it is easy to deploy and integrate, while providing the industry’s most advanced file analysis and indicator enrichment across a wide span of threat vectors.”

Despite advances in layered security approaches, organizations are still struggling to sort through fragmented event data to achieve complete risk assessment and visibility. Organizations are transitioning their security programs to get more clarity in the face of a rapidly evolving threat landscape by establishing a malware analysis service. Such services centralize the analysis of suspected threats and the investigation of malware. As a result, all alerts can be addressed and more proactive postures can be delivered within their defenses. In fact, a recent ReversingLabs survey of information security professionals reveals that nearly 40 percent of respondents agreed that their organization could improve security with a more formalized threat hunting and malware lab program.
