SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, Feb. 26, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) â Decentralized IT security marketplace PolySwarm today announced a partnership with the lead development team behind Cuckoo Sandbox. Cuckoo Sandbox is the leading open-source automated malware analysis system, and is used daily by thousands of malware analysts, SOC & CERT employees, and threat intelligence teams. PolySwarmâs partnership with Bremer Computer Security B.V., the Enterprise supplier of Cuckoo, will produce PolySwarmâs first Arbiter, kickstarting PolySwarmâs roadmap for early adoption.
âIn todayâs world, with more and more advanced malware being released on a daily basis, itâs becoming increasingly difficult to perform detection and understanding of the motives of attackers in near real-time,â said Jurriaan Bremer, Lead Developer of Cuckoo Sandbox. âWe believe the PolySwarm ecosystem is capable of achieving this exact goal through the âmany eyesâ principle of the network, and we look forward to collaborating to improve malware detection.â
