SecondWrite has developed an innovative automated malware analysis solution for detecting advanced malware including APTs, targeted attacks and zero-day evasions that defeat other solutions. Our dynamic analysis malware detector uses patented technology to find and evaluate hidden code paths that other malware detectors miss. Using advanced program analysis, neural networks, and our state-of-the-art patented technology, we automatically detect malicious code sequences, classifying malicious program behavior and features that consistently evade competitive technology.

[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”WHAT MAKES SECONDWRITE DIFFERENT FROM OTHER SANDBOXS?” _builder_version=”3.22.4″]

Malware DeepViewTM eliminates blind spots prevalent in existing automated malware analysis solutions. Other automated malware solutions are only based on monitoring the interaction of malware with its “external” environment, primarily the operating system’s resources on the computer. In addition, such tools are specialized to certain known evasion types.

Malware DeepViewTM is based on deep introspection and complete code exploration of malware using founding team’s ten years of research background in deep analysis of software and malware, and our patented technologies. This enables the sandbox component of our product to detect malware based on internal code behavior and overcome any evasion type, including zero-day evasions that are unknown to us.
