Crowdsourced security intelligence for everyone

What? VirusTotal is the richest and most actionable crowdsourced threat intelligence platform in the planet. It equips security teams with comprehensive context and cutting edge functionalities to proactively protect their networks from cybersecurity threats.

Why? Security teams are often confronted with an unknown file/URL/domain/IP address and asked to make sense of an attack. Without further context, it is virtually impossible to determine attribution, build effective defenses against other strains of the attack, or understand the impact of a given threat in your organization. Through API and web based interaction with VirusTotal, security analysts can quickly build a picture of an incident, and then use the insights to neutralize other attacks.

Outcome? Faster, more confident, more accurate and more cost-effective security operations.

Where? On-premise, GCP, other clouds, everywhere. Thanks to our rich APIs we are infrastructure agnostic.

How? In addition to building a threat intelligence suite, VirusTotal operates a free public multi-antivirus scanning service. This site nurtures the world-largest crowdsourced threat corpus through community contributions coming from over 2M monthly users in over 232 countries. VirusTotal is also a Google Cloud product unit, as it was acquired by Google back in 2012. That's how world leading malware fighting met planet-scale technology to give good the advantage. Since then, and backed by our partnerships with hundreds of industry vendors and Google’s computational edge and Internet visibility, we have consolidated as the richest, most diverse, closest to real-time and most actionable threat intelligence platform in the planet.
