Build a Champion SOC with Best in Class Threat Intelligence from VirusTotal and Cortex XSOAR

The quest to best protect an organization requires several top-of-the-line weapons for an analyst to wield. To handle the daily torrent of alerts and threats, security teams need access to the sharpest, most up-to-date threat intelligence to provide the missing critical pieces of information like files, URLs, domains, and more.  Unfortunately, security teams rarely have the time or resources to maintain a full arsenal of rich, ingestible intelligence. 

To provide security teams with the best tools to combat threat actors, VirusTotal and Cortex XSOAR are excited to streamline threat intelligence through the Cortex XSOAR Marketplace. As one of the largest threat intelligence services in the world, VirusTotal is expanding its research, enrichment, and malware hunting capabilities to the industry leading security automation, orchestration, and response platform. This provides mutual customers with easily searchable crowdsourced intelligence directly within the award winning platform for unified case management, automation, and real time collaboration.
