Last year, we wrote about an industry first for both cyber security and crypto: rewarding everyday users for the cyber security telemetry they generate passively, every day, just by using their mobile and computing devices. Since then, we’ve been asking PolySwarm’s customers and engine providers like Sentinel One, CrowdStrike, and Kaspersky what cyber security and malware data are most valuable to them and how we can help enlist everyday Internet users to make everyone more secure.
In this post, we’re sharing our 2022 plans for how we plan to reward everyday Internet users with PolySwarm’s NCT token for providing, enriching, and staking cyber security telemetry through PolySwarm’s platform.
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.
PolySwarm announced today the release of PolyScore™, a threat scoring algorithm that provides the probability a given file contains malware in a single, authoritative number.
"We are excited to join PolySwarm, and to contribute to the network with our specialized APT intelligence in the Asia Pacific region" says TeamT5 CEO, TT Tsai. "We as a team, will bring the experience of our clients to the next level.
Enterprises, OEMs, MSSPs can now access PolySwarm's novel file reputation and threat detection services via leading SOAR platform ThreatConnect, Inc.
ThreatConnect users can access PolySwarm--a crowdsourced threat detection tool, that enables better detection against new and emerging malware--for file reputation and threat intelligence. Cyber analysts using ThreatConnect's Security Operations Platform can download and operate the solution from a single pane of glass.
To put it simply, there are some really cool threat detection technologies on the PolySwarm marketplace. As a recap, here at PolySwarm, we aggregate research-driven threat detection engines---both from AV companies and individual, specialized security experts---that compete in real-time to detect threats. Enterprises and individuals using PolySwarm benefit from deeper coverage of the malware landscape and unique threat intelligence from this aggregated network of engines.
The Telegram messaging app is used by over 200 million people around the world and has proven to be a great communication vehicle for individuals and companies. Unfortunately, Telegram is also an attractive target for bad actors looking to exploit the platform and people. From cryptocurrency stealers and miners, Telegram has seen its fair share of scams.
Today we are pleased to announce that Basis Technology has become a PolySwarm customer. Basis Technology’s incident response software, Cyber Triage™, plays an important role in the fight against cybercrime; PolySwarm will now help enhance this critical technology.
