Unified Zero-Day Detection
Layer 1: Threat Reputation
Expose Known
Threats Fast
Stop the flood of known threats.
Checks URLs, IPs, & domains in real time or offline to detect malware, phishing, & botnets.
Blocks reused infrastructure & commodity malware and forces attackers to rotate basic indicators.

Layer 2: Dynamic Analysis
Uncover Unknown
Threats
Detects evasive malware hiding from traditional sandboxes.
An emulation-based sandbox analyzes files to detect hidden threats like ransomware.
Exposes artifacts, loader chains, script logic and evasion tactics.

Layer 3: Threat Scoring
Prioritize Threats
Reduce alert fatigue.
Threat risk levels are ranked to quickly highlight priority threats in real-time.

Layer 4: Threat Hunting
Identify Malware
Campaigns
Machine-Learning Similarity Search
Threat Pattern Correlation matches unknown threats to known malware, tactics, infrastructure and more.
Uncovers malware families and campaigns, forcing attackers to overhaul tactics and infrastructure.

FAQs
Large-scale, cloud-native detonation for files and URLs-perfect for email security/OEMs and teams that need elastic capacity without running their own sandbox farm.
Enhanced ML web threat detection (multi-label classification, structure/style analysis), PDF phishing heuristics, brand detection, and JavaScript/clipboard emulation to surface "template kits," QR smuggling, and low complexity phishing at scale.
Simple API (submit file/URL, get verdict/IOCs), plus MISP/STIX exports, Splunk SOAR/Cortex XSOAR connectors, and auto-generated YARA for follow-on hunting.
Auto-scaling with fast emulation keeps latency low while avoiding VM overhead; policy routing ensures you only detonate what's necessary-so you control volume and spend.
Yes-mix cloud for burst/URL analysis with on-prem sandbox for sensitive or sovereign data. Policies decide where each sample runs.
