VMRay
About the product
VMRay Sandbox is an advanced threat analysis platform designed to detect, analyze, and classify malware and phishing attacks. It uses hypervisor-based dynamic analysis technology, which allows for invisible monitoring of malware behavior in an isolated environment.
Key modules and functionalities:
1. VMRay Analyzer
The main tool for dynamic malware analysis. It enables:
a) Analysis of files, documents, scripts, mobile applications, and URLs.
b) Real-time monitoring of malware behavior without interfering with the analyzed environment.
c) Generate detailed reports containing indicators of compromise (IoC) and threat identifiers (VTI).
2. VMRay Detector
A module responsible for automatic threat detection. It uses:
a) A reputation engine for quick assessment of known threats.
b) Static and dynamic analysis to identify new, previously unknown threats.
c) Integration with SIEM, SOAR, and EDR systems to automate incident response processes.
3. VMRay Threat Intelligence
A feature that provides up-to-date threat intelligence, enabling:
a) Export of indicators of compromise (IoC) to STIX, JSON, and CSV formats.
b) Integration with threat information exchange platforms and TIP-class platforms.
c) Enriching threat data with context, facilitating security decision-making.
4. AutoUI (Automated User Interaction)
A module that simulates user interactions with analyzed samples, allowing for:
a) Detection of threats that require user interaction to activate.
b) Analysis of malicious documents and websites that activate when clicked or when data is entered.
5. Intelligent Monitoring
A system that filters irrelevant information from analysis reports, focusing on key malware behaviors, which:
a) Facilitates the interpretation of analysis results.
b) Speeds up the incident response process.
6. API and Automation
VMRay offers an extensive REST API, enabling:
a) Automatic submission of samples for analysis.
b) Retrieval of analysis results and integration with existing security systems.
c) Creation of custom workflows to automate threat analysis processes.
Advantages of the product
Thanks to hypervisor-based analysis, VMRay is invisible to malware, allowing for full disclosure of its behavior.
The combination of static, dynamic, and reputation analysis ensures accurate threat identification.
Scalability and flexibility: Ability to analyze a large number of samples simultaneously and integrate with various security systems.
Support for various types of threats: Analysis of malware, phishing attacks, documents with macros, and mobile applications.
Benefits of Implementation
VMRay analyzes new and unknown threats, including malware that uses anti-analysis techniques (anti-VM, anti-sandbox), enabling their detection before they cause damage.
Extensive APIs and automation features enable full integration of the sandbox with SIEM, SOAR, EDR, and ticketing, accelerating incident response processes.
VMRay generates high-quality IoC indicators and contextual data (VTI – VMRay Threat Identifiers) that can be immediately used to block threats and enrich threat intelligence data.
VMRay effectively analyzes not only executable files, but also documents with macros and malicious URLs, providing comprehensive protection.
Thanks to detailed reports filtered for the most important malware activities (Intelligent Monitoring), analysts can make accurate decisions faster.
VMRay enables the analysis of a large number of samples simultaneously, allowing organizations to handle large volumes of suspicious files without bottlenecks.
With support for standards (e.g., STIX, JSON) and native integrations, VMRay easily works with existing cybersecurity tools.
