Proactive, Active, and Reactive: Multi-Layered Defense Against Malware

 In today’s fast-moving threat landscape, enterprise security teams face a daunting challenge: traditional security solutions struggle to keep up with increasingly sophisticated and evasive malware. Whether it’s obfuscated code, zero-day threats, or fileless attacks, relying on static signatures and known threat patterns leaves critical gaps in an organization’s defense. 

CodeHunter closes those gaps.Built as a behavior-based malware analysis platform, CodeHunter provides multi-layered protection before, during, and after an attack. Its combination of static, dynamic, and AI-powered analysis helps security teams prevent infections, identify threats in real time, and respond effectively when a breach occurs. 

Proactive Protection: Anticipate and Prevent Threats 

The best way to deal with malware is to stop it before it enters your environment. CodeHunter allows enterprises to scan unknown or suspicious files before they’re executed, evaluating not just what a file is, but what it’s likely to do. 

Using advanced behavior-based analysis, CodeHunter can identify threats that traditional solutions miss—including zero-day malware and polymorphic code. It enables teams to: 

• Prevent unknown malware from infiltrating systems 

• Enforce policy-driven blocking of risky software 

• Scan code pre-deployment to reduce the attack surface early in the software lifecycle 

Additionally, security teams can proactively search their environment using CodeHunter-provided malicious hashsets—uncovering dormant threats before they activate. 

Active Defense: Identify and Disrupt in Real Time 

Once malware is in motion, time is critical. CodeHunter continuously monitors execution behavior across your environment to identify anomalies as they occur. This active defense layer enables: 

• Real-time identification of malicious execution, privilege escalation, or lateral movement 

• Clear, machine-generated verdicts (Malicious, No Threat Detected, Trusted) 

• Manual or automated responses via SIEM/SOAR integration 

Whether you’re operating in the cloud, on-premises, or hybrid, CodeHunter’s real-time identification gives SOC teams the clarity and speed they need to act. 

Reactive Response: Investigate and Recover with Precision 

No defense is perfect, which is why rapid investigation and remediation are critical. When a breach does happen, CodeHunter provides deep forensic visibility into how the malware operated, which systems it touched, and what actions were taken. 

Security teams can: 

• Trace infection paths and understand the full scope of impact 

• Classify the malware for internal and external intelligence sharing 

• Validate remediation efforts and ensure defenses are hardened 

This layered approach transforms incident response from guesswork into a streamlined, evidence-driven process. 

The CodeHunter Solution

With its combination of machine learning, behavioral analytics, and cloud-native scalability, CodeHunter empowers organizations to secure all phases of the malware lifecycle—from prevention to identification to recovery. It’s not just about stopping threats, it’s about understanding them, adapting, and evolving your defenses faster than attackers can evolve theirs.
