2023 Updates in Review: Malware Analysis and Threat Hunting

Throughout ReversingLabs' 14-year history, our products have constantly excelled and improved to tailor the needs of our customers and match the changing cybersecurity threat landscape.
This past year, we have delivered key improvements to ReversingLabs Threat Intelligence, Elastic Threat Infrastructure, and Threat Analysis & Hunting solutions, providing more efficient and cutting-edge platforms fit for the busy security practitioner.
Here are the major improvements to ReversingLabs malware analysis and threat hunting solutions in various areas that are helpful to our customers.
To mitigate modern-day threats and potential attacks, a complete understanding of malware behavior is a must.
ReversingLabs continues to increase file analysis depth and coverage by combining our high-speed static analysis with new dynamic analysis capabilities.
In 2023, ReversingLabs further enhanced our RL Cloud Sandbox dynamic analysis capabilities for the A1000 and TitaniumCloud.
File classification has been improved by additionally using RL Cloud Sandbox dynamic analysis results with ReversingLabs proprietary static analysis, simplifying the process of deciding if a sample is malicious.
ReversingLabs has the largest private repository of goodware and malware files in the world, which continues to grow each day.
We know the importance of having validated, up-to-date file and network threat intelligence and the necessity to constantly improve on our solutions' capabilities so that customers can trust and best utilize this data corpus.
For TitaniumCloud, users can now get up-to-date domain and IP reputations for blocking pertinent threats, based on a list of top threats, reputation data from various sources, statistics for downloaded malicious files, and a list of related URLs.
Regarding TitaniumScale, users now can configure the retrieval of TitaniumCloud reputation for all network IOCs found during file analysis, which enables valuable insights into potential threats and vulnerabilities.
Easing the job of threat hunters is what we do best, which is why ReversingLabs prioritizes improving such capabilities within our solutions.
YARA is another area ReversingLabs continues to make improvements and enhancements to help threat hunting teams.
For improved file analysis, ReversingLabs made several updates to the TitaniumScale platform in 2023.
ReversingLabs takes the user experience seriously for all of our solutions, which is why the TitaniumScale platform underwent new UX improvements in 2023.
One of these updates is that files can now be examined on C1000's Analytics Dashboard, delivering live insights into detected threats.
This provides greater visibility into an organization's security posture and improves the efficiency of hunting and triage workflows for the SOC. In addition, SOC analysts can now perform further analysis of files via one-click pivoting to the A1000 Sample Summary from the C1000 Analytics Dashboard, which enhances investigation and hunting workflow efficiency for security teams.
The improvements ReversingLabs made to its solutions in 2023 empower our customers to more efficiently manage their enterprise SOCs and mitigate any modern-day cyber threats coming their way.
RL is constantly staying up to speed with today's threat landscape to ensure that our solutions properly serve our customers' needs.
Change is constant in cybersecurity, so our customers can expect more improvements to ReversingLabs Threat Intelligence, Elastic Threat Infrastructure, and Threat Analysis & Hunting solutions in 2024.
