PolySwarm launches polyX, a free community for security researchers to access threat intel and test new detection techniques
Thursday, February 6, 2020
Cybersecurity experts are invited to join polyX, a community for threat intel sharing, free malware-sample downloads, and access to PolySwarm's marketplace to test new and experimental detection techniques against real-world threats.
SAN DIEGO, Feb. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- PolySwarm, a threat intelligence marketplace for defending against new and emergent malware, invites security researchers, malware analysts and defenders to join polyX, a free community that gives members the ability to collaborate, access malware samples and test new detection techniques.
Upon joining, polyX members are admitted to a private collaboration group with fellow security experts and granted access to use a number of features in PolySwarm, including increased malware sample downloads, scans, and hash and metadata search tools.
"polyX offers researchers free access to the latest malware, collaboration with top experts, support for developing malware detection ideas into products and the ability to validate those ideas against real-world enterprise traffic," says PolySwarm CTO and CO-Founder Paul Makowski. "polyX represents a truly unique opportunity for individuals and small companies that want to enter the malware detection space and help shift the balance toward defense."
polyX members are able to discover new threats first, identify shortcomings in existing detection approaches, and develop ideas for new detection methodology. "What we are seeing is that many of the samples found in PolySwarm have never been seen on VirusTotal or other multiscanners, and are not freely accessible elsewhere," says Makowski. "polyX will provide researchers with convenient access to samples and serves as a place for niche and experimental scanning and detection engines to thrive."
Those interested are able to join PolySwarm's polyX community by filling out the short questionnaire here https://go.polyswarm.io/polyx.
