The VMRay Platform is a breakthrough solution for dynamic analysis of advanced threats, including zero day and targeted attacks. By surmounting inherent flaws that plague other products, VMRay Analyzer has become the gold standard for malware sandboxing among leading DFIR teams worldwide. The core of the VMRay Platform is an agentless, hypervisor-based sandbox, which is unique in combining near-total evasion resistance with full visibility into malware behavior: a trait we call X-Ray Vision. Because nothing touches or modifies the analysis environment, monitoring is invisible, and even the most evasive malware strains fully execute in the sandbox. By monitoring every interaction between malware and the target system, VMRay captures a complete and accurate record of threat behavior – data that enriches detection, incident response, digital forensics, and threat intelligence. VMRay Intelligent Monitoring excels over other solutions in distinguishing between malicious behavior and legitimate activity. As a result, VMRay Analyzer delivers precise, noise-free output that reduces false positive rates to near zero. This shortens investigations, enhances efficiency and prevents legitimate traffic from being blocked
