Why Traditional Tools Don’t Cut It
Zero-day attacks & evasive malware now easily get past traditional, static or slow security tools.
Threat Evasion
Modern malware is engineered to outsmart static defenses, using environment checks, timing delays, and sandbox detection to hide malicious behavior.
These threats adapt in real time, exploiting blind spots in traditional tools to slip through before signatures or heuristics can react.
Slow Incident Response
Overwhelmed teams face too many alerts and too little context.
Without fast triage and clear prioritization, analysts lose critical time investigating false positives while real threats move laterally and exfiltrate data undetected.
Limited Visibility
Fragmented systems create blind spots between network, endpoint, and application layers.
When detection isn’t unified, threats can linger unseen, undermining both prevention and response efforts across the environment.
Poor Scalability
Traditional tools weren’t built for today’s data volumes or the speed of modern attacks.
As file and traffic loads grow, detection pipelines stall, analysis queues expand, and security gaps widen, leaving organizations exposed.

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 that hides 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.

Threat Intelligence & Integration
Automated threat hunting and real-time detection integrate seamlessly across intelligence sources.
The system exports to MISP and STIX formats, queries the MetaDefender Cloud Reputation Service, connects with open-source intelligence vendors, and automatically generates YARA rules for each detected threat.
Next-Gen Anti-Evasion Engine
Extracts indicators of compromise from highly evasive malware and detonates targeted attacks so analysts can focus on high-value findings.
The sandbox defeats advanced evasion techniques including long sleeps and loops, user or domain checks, geofencing, OS locale checks, VBA stomping, advanced auto-execution behaviors such as mouse-hover triggers, and task scheduler abuse.

The Story Behind OPSWAT’s Industry-Leading Dynamic Analysis Technology
The Story Behind MetaDefender Aether
Jan Miller – CTO, Threat Analysis at OPSWAT
Jan Miller is a pioneer in modern malware analysis, known for launching platforms that transformed how the industry detects evasive threats. After founding Payload Security and later driving Falcon X at CrowdStrike, he continued innovating with Filescan.io, later acquired by OPSWAT. As an AMTSO Board member, he champions transparency while advancing techniques that blend dynamic analysis with threat intelligence to expose evasive malware.
Dynamic Analysis Evolves with Built-in Threat Intel
MetaDefender Aether fuses CPU-level emulation, behavioral analytics, and adaptive threat intelligence (threat reputation, scoring, similarity search). This means faster zero-day verdicts and richer context that powers threat hunting and automated response across your security stack.

FAQs
It closes the blind spot on unknown, file-based threats by combining reputation checks, emulation-based dynamic analysis, and behavioral intelligence-so you see in-memory payloads, obfuscated loaders, and phishing kits that signatures and endpoint tools miss.
It plugs in at ingest (ICAP, email, MFT, web), enriches your SIEM/SOAR (MISP/STIX, Splunk SOAR, Cortex XSOAR), and feeds back high-fidelity IOCs and MITRE-mapped behaviors to improve detections across all your tools.
No. Reputation "great-filter" removes most noise instantly; suspicious files are detonated in an emulation sandbox that's 10× faster and 100× more resource-efficient than legacy VM sandboxes-keeping file flow fast while still catching the 0.1% zero-day threats that matter.
Yes. Deploy cloud, hybrid, or fully on-prem/air-gapped (RHEL/Rocky Linux supported), with offline mode and certificate whitelisting, role-based access, audit logs, and data-retention controls for NIS2/IEC 62443/NIST-style environments.
Reduced incident volume/MTTR (fewer false positives, richer context), earlier detection of OSINT-silent threats, and measurable risk reduction for file workflows (email, MFT, portals). Most customers start with a scoped POC on their real traffic, then expand.
