Recorded Future’s Malware Intelligence rethinks traditional malware analysis to empower organizations to act first against modern threats.

In my conversations with security leaders across industries, I hear a consistent theme: traditional approaches to malware detection and analysis are failing to keep pace with the evolving threat landscape. This challenge has become even more pronounced as adversaries increasingly leverage AI to accelerate and enhance their attacks.

The statistics tell a sobering story. The average dwell time for threats in 2024 remains at approximately 10 days. Nearly half of CISOs report missing data breaches with their existing security tools. And 93% of malware hides in data-in-transit1. These aren't just numbersthey represent real business risk that security teams struggle to address with limited resources and reactive approaches.

Today, I'm excited to announce a solution that fundamentally transforms how organizations defend against malware: Recorded Future's Malware Intelligence.

Beyond Isolated Analysis

Traditional malware analysis happens in isolationdisconnected from the broader threat landscape. Security teams spend countless hours manually investigating samples without the contextual intelligence needed to understand their true risk or deploy effective protections quickly.

Malware Intelligence fundamentally changes this approach by connecting every malware sample to our Intelligence Graph's 15+ years of threat and malware data. This allows security teams to not just analyze what the malware does, but understand its lineage, predict its evolution, and automatically generate protectionsgiving you complete context and automated defenses in seconds rather than days.

The Power of the Intelligence Graph

What makes this approach possible is the Recorded Future Intelligence Graphthe world's only threat intelligence repository with over 200 billion nodes of interconnected data built over 15 years. By leveraging this unmatched intelligence foundation, we've created capabilities that transform malware defense from a reactive exercise to a proactive strategy:

1. Intelligence Graph correlation with 1.5M+ new malware samples/day providing immediate context about origins, attribution, and potential impact
2. Auto YARA rule generation powered by pattern recognition creates instant protection against identified threats and their variants
3. Dynamic alerting identifies emerging threats through static and behavioral analysis before they target your organization
4. Seamless integration with existing security controls enables immediate protection without workflow disruption
5. Advanced Sandbox empowers security teams to upload and and detonate potential malware in an interactive environment, unlocking deep insights into threat behavior and attack strategies - try it free today and see the difference.

Transforming Cyber Operations

For security teams, the impact is transformative. One customer described our approach as making their team "look prophetic"they could get out in front of threats before they materialized rather than constantly reacting to incidents.

Early adopters are reporting remarkable results including 3x reduction in triage time and ability to run threat hunts automatically.

These aren't just efficiency metricsthey represent a fundamental shift in how security teams operate and the level of protection they can provide to their organizations.

From Manual to Automated, From Reactive to Proactive

What excites me most about Malware Intelligence is how it addresses the critical challenges facing security teams today:

• For resource-constrained teams, it provides automation that eliminates hours of manual rule-writing and scales threat hunting capabilities without adding headcount
• For organizations struggling with alert fatigue, it delivers high-confidence intelligence that focuses teams on what matters most
• For security leaders concerned about emerging threats, it provides predictive capabilities that identify variants before they impact your systems

Most importantly, it enables security teams to shift from a reactive posturewhere they're constantly on the back foot against attackersto a proactive strategy where they can anticipate and prevent attacks before they occur.

The Future of Intelligence-Driven Security

Malware Intelligence represents a significant step in our vision to enable you to know what matters and act first. By connecting the dots between isolated malware samples and the broader threat landscape, we're enabling security teams to defend at the speed and scale that modern threats demand.

As attack techniques continue to evolve with the aid of AI, the advantage will belong to those with superior intelligence capabilities. That's precisely what we're delivering with Malware Intelligencea capability that transforms how organizations detect, understand, and respond to malware threats that matter most to their business.

This is available today for all our customers who own our Threat Intelligence Module. I invite you to see this innovation in action. Visit us at RSA Conference 2025 (Booth #926) or request a personalized demonstration to experience how Malware Intelligence can transform your cyber operations.
