Senior Software Engineer
PolySwarm is a next-generation malware intelligence marketplace that provides faster and fresher insights by leveraging a network of specialized threat detection engines. It helps organizations cut through data noise to detect, analyze, and respond to critical threats before they cause an impact.
About PolySwarm
PolySwarm is a crowdsourced threat detection marketplace that provides malware intelligence. It utilizes a network of threat detection engines, including specialized ones from independent researchers and security teams, to detect common, emerging, and rare threats. The platform uses a blockchain-powered backend and a native token, Nectar (NCT), to reward researchers for accuracy. PolySwarm offers a proprietary threat scoring algorithm, PolyScore, to rate the probability of malware in a file, enabling faster decision-making and SOC automation. Its features include custom geotargeted PolyFeeds, flexible metadata searches, unlimited YARA rulesets, and private communities. The service is used for investigation, incident response, malware feeds, data enrichment, and SOC automation.
