Join our upcoming webinar “Advancing Threat Intelligence & Hunting with VirusTotal” where we will run you through a detailed and comprehensive overview of VirusTotal Intelligence and Hunting capabilities. This will showcase the search capabilities within VirusTotal to help sift through the vast amount of malware and how it may be pertinent to your organization as well as ways to track this threat for future variants. An investigation can start from IoC’s with little context, and how an analyst may leverage the data in VirusTotal can help uncover additional variants and the techniques attack groups may be utilising. Learn how VirusTotal can supercharge your team in regards to:

• Security threat enrichment
  
• Incident response
  
• Threat hunting
  
• Fraud and brand protection
  

Specifically, among other things, you will understand how:

• A SOC level 1 analyst can use static information, crowdsourced metadata and inter-observable relationships generated by VirusTotal in order to confidently act on an alert, even when the pertinent IoC is fully undetected.
  
• An incident responder can leverage file similarity search in order to map out an entire threat campaign and generate network IoCs to mitigate a breach or proactively defend his organization.
  
• Identify variants and other threats to augment your organization’s prevention and detection capabilities.
  
• Uncover vectors which adversaries may be using to target your organization and your customers.
  
• A threat hunter can automatically generate optimal YARA rules to track adversaries and pivot through the dataset to discover their TTPs.
