Proactively Detect Threats Earlier
Deploy YARA rules across live sample streams and historical data to catch emerging threats before they impact your environment. Private rules. Real-time matching. Historical hunting on demand.
Why PolySwarm Hunt Is Different
Real-Time Matching
Your YARA rules run against live sample streams. Get notified immediately when new samples match your detection criteria.
Private Rules
Your hunting rules remain private. No exposure of your detection strategies or intelligence to other users.
Historical Hunting
Run rules against historical sample data on demand. Discover if your new rules would have caught past threats.
Unlimited Rules
No artificial limits on rule count. Deploy as many YARA rules as your threat hunting program requires.
