Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Integrating the solution with our existing security tools and workflows was easy.""The reporting services are great. With reporting services, if you have customers that just visit a URL you can see the result - including why it's blocked and how and how the URL was first recognized as malicious."

More ThreatQ Pros →

"The most valuable feature is the worldwide malware information database.""With VirusTotal, I can check for any hash, malware, file, domain, IP URL, or malicious URL, and Kaspersky stays clean.""It can scan the dark web and find if an email ID has been compromised. This is another area that we have not explored yet."

    Overview

    ThreatQ is a Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) designed to enable threat operations and management. ThreatQ is the only solution with an integrated Threat Library, Adaptive Workbench and Open Exchange that help you to act upon the most relevant threats facing your organization and to get more out of your existing security infrastructure.

    VirusTotal is a comprehensive online service that analyzes files and URLs to detect malware and other malicious content. It provides a centralized platform for users to scan suspicious files and URLs using multiple antivirus engines and various other tools. With its vast database of antivirus signatures and behavioral analysis capabilities, VirusTotal offers a powerful solution for identifying and mitigating potential threats.

    One of the key features of VirusTotal is its ability to scan files and URLs using more than 70 antivirus engines simultaneously. This multi-engine approach enhances the detection rate and reduces the chances of false positives. Users can simply upload a file or enter a URL to initiate the scanning process, and within seconds, they receive a detailed report highlighting any potential threats detected by the antivirus engines.

    In addition to antivirus scanning, VirusTotal also provides other analysis tools such as file and URL reputation checks, file behavior analysis, and static analysis. These tools help users gain deeper insights into the nature of the file or URL being analyzed, allowing them to make informed decisions about its safety.

    VirusTotal's extensive database of antivirus signatures and its continuous updates ensure that users have access to the latest threat intelligence. This enables the service to detect even the most recent and sophisticated malware strains. Furthermore, VirusTotal allows users to contribute to its database by submitting suspicious files, thereby enhancing the overall security ecosystem.

    The user-friendly interface of VirusTotal makes it accessible to both technical and non-technical users. The scan results are presented in a clear and concise manner, making it easy for users to interpret and take appropriate actions. Additionally, VirusTotal offers an API that allows developers to integrate its scanning capabilities into their own applications or workflows.
