Today we introduce a new utility use for PolySwarm’s Nectar token for average users: distributing rewards for security-relevant data about TLS certificates, DNS resolutions, and potentially malicious files encountered in daily computer use. Many of these telemetry sources are already collected from user devices by Antivirus (AV) providers. Still, there are a number of serious issues with how they are collected, how users are compensated for their information, and how these results are shared. By re-imagining how this marketplace works, we can increase collection transparency, fairly compensate all participants in the marketplace, and, most importantly, create a more unified source of security telemetry that will better protect users worldwide.
SentinelOne joined PolySwarm’s marketplace, and their threat detection engine is now live. The US-based company, a pioneer in advanced endpoint protection, leverages machine learning designed to identify unknown malware and remediate threats in real-time.
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.
