MetaDefender Cloud vs. Trellix Intelligent Virtual Execution (IVX)

MetaDefender Cloud is a cloud-native file security and malware analysis platform that detects, analyzes, and prevents threats before they execute. Built for individuals, security professionals, developers, and organizations, it combines multi-layer inspection, threat intelligence, and active file prevention in one unified platform, available from free individual use to full enterprise deployment.

IVX is a signature-less, dynamic analysis engine that captures and confirms zero-day, and targeted APT attacks. IVX identifies attacks that evade traditional signature-based defenses by detonating suspicious files, web objects, URLs, and email attachments within a proprietary hypervisor instrumented for over 200 potential simultaneous executions. IVX accelerates incident response by enabling analysts to visualize how malware is behaving within the virtual image and securely interact with malware to test effectiveness of countermeasures.
