The antivirus industry is broken

Existing antivirus products offer duplicative coverage, are not interoperable, and are designed to focus on known widespread threats. New malware is being produced and deployed at a faster pace than antivirus products can keep up with.

Growing Problem

90 million cyber threats each year lead to more than $3 trillion in costs. These costs are expected to double by 2021.

- Cybersecurity Ventures

Limited landscape Coverage

There are 400 new threats every minute and 70% of them go undetected by current anti-virus products.

- Merill Lynch

Slow to React

Time to resolve cyber attacks has increased by 33% due to limited resources and low R&D investment.

- Ponemon Institute

Shortage of Infosec Experts

The infosec expert ‘talent gap’ is estimated to reach 3.5 M by 2021.

- Gartner

A single vendor, employing a centralized group of threat experts, provides a one-size-fits-all solution. This leaves you vulnerable to attacks.

microengines, developed by a global community of security experts, converge to quickly analyze the threat, providing broader analysis and protection that’s tailor-made to your exact needs.

Traditional Antivirus

Up to Date

Up-to-date coverage for new threats, within minutes—not hours or weeks. Specialized expertise is incentivized by market design, unlike the current market.

Broader Coverage

PolySwarm aggregates coverage from thousands of specialized 'microengines,' created and maintained by a global swarm of security experts.

Automated

Unlike traditional bug bounties, threat detection is automated, performed by microengines.

Crowdsourced

A global 'swarm' of experts, with a proven and publicly-accessible track record, compete (and get rewarded) for protecting you.

How PolySwarm works

The PolySwarm ecosystem incentivizes what matters most: quality output of malintent detection. It rewards honest market participation through collection and distribution of fees to value-adding, active security experts.

Latest Updates

I’m thrilled to be working with PolySwarm because they’re uniquely addressing an important issue in cyber security.

Mark Tonnesen

Former CIO, McAfee

With more and more advanced malware being released on a daily basis, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to perform detection and understand the motives of attackers in near real-time. We believe the PolySwarm ecosystem is capable of achieving this exact goal.

Jurriaan Bremer

Lead Developer of Cuckoo Sandbox

PolySwarm is leading the way when it comes to blockchain’s real-world use cases, and I am happy to support their growth.

Dinesh Dhamija

U.K.Entrepreneur, Deputy Treasurer of U.K.'s Liberal Democratic Party; Founder, Former CEO and Chairman, Ebookers.com

Given the challenges that this industry faces, the ecosystem that PolySwarm has created enables a much broader and richer level of contribution from all cyber experts to tackle new threats. Very happy to be working with such an innovative team like PolySwarm.
