Global cybersecurity company Kaspersky joined PolySwarm’s marketplace, and their threat detection engine is now live. Kaspersky’s role within the platform will be to arbitrate on engine’s determinations to establish ‘ground truth’, which means making a final decision on the maliciousness of a given sample, 2 to 3 weeks after the sample has been first scanned.  

The last 12 months have been intense yet very productive for PolySwarm, as we have scaled our platform, fast-tracked user acquisition and released new key features.
Let’s do a quick recap of what we’ve accomplished before we get into what lies ahead of us.
