GLIMPS Malware is constantly evolving thanks to user feedback and new discoveries in cybersecurity. Our CTI and R&D teams are constantly working to improve our service and stay at the cutting edge of technology
GLIMPS Malware and sandboxes have complementary but distinct roles in cybersecurity. GLIMPS uses over 25 static scan engines to analyze files, offering a verdict in seconds on potential threats from a wide range of sources. This analysis method means that GLIMPS is not vulnerable to sandbox or EDR evasion techniques. In contrast, a sandbox executes a suspicious file in an isolated environment to observe its behavior in real time. While GLIMPS Malware provides multi-engine detection and detailed threat reports on file streams, a sandbox offers in-depth, multi-minute behavioral analysis of a single file or binary. Together, they provide a comprehensive view of threats. That’s why GLIMPS Malware includes an automated sandbox for in-depth investigation by SOC and CSIRT teams
Antivirus scanners are a first level of analysis to avoid classic virus attacks, but faced with the constant increase in sophisticated cyberattacks, a traditional approach to cybersecurity such as antivirus scanners is no longer sufficient: traditional signature-based antivirus scanners are unable to detect new viruses that are not registered in their database. So-called “next-generation” technologies such as GLIMPS Malware, based in particular on artificial intelligence algorithms, are needed to deal with advanced threats
