Trellix Intelligent Virtual Execution (IVX) vs. Google VirusTotal

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.

VirusTotal is a comprehensive online service that analyzes files and URLs to detect viruses, worms, trojans, and other malicious content. By aggregating results from over 70 antivirus scanners and URL/domain blacklisting services, it provides a thorough assessment of potential threats. Users can upload files up to 650 MB or submit URLs for scanning, receiving detailed reports on the safety of the content. This collaborative approach enhances the detection of malware and helps in identifying false positives.
