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.

Introducing PolySwarm

Polyswarm is a threat detection marketplace where antivirus companies and enterprises dramatically expand and improve their protection coverage against new threats.

Micro-engines, 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.

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

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.
