VMRay brings behavioral malware and phishing analysis to the forefront as attackers increasingly evade signature-based defenses
As cyberattacks become more targeted and evasive, VMRay is challenging security teams to move beyond the conventional “malicious or clean” verdict and focus on understanding attacker behavior.
At GISEC Global 2026, VMRay, together with its regional partner Shifra, will showcase its approach to automated malware and phishing analysis, designed to give security operations and incident response teams deeper visibility into how threats execute, communicate and evolve.
Hüseyin Fatih Akar, Security Product Manager, VMRay, says that identifying malicious activity is only the beginning of effective threat analysis. The greater value lies in establishing the behavioral context needed to determine the nature, intent and potential impact of an attack.
“Knowing that a file or message is malicious is only the starting point. Security teams need to understand what the threat is actually doing to make faster, more confident decisions.” — Hüseyin Fatih Akar, Security Product Manager, VMRay
This shift is increasingly important as phishing campaigns adopt multi-stage techniques and malware becomes more capable of bypassing traditional detection mechanisms. For SOC teams, relying solely on static indicators can leave a significant gap between detection and meaningful response.
VMRay’s behavioral analysis technology is designed to bridge that gap by examining threats in execution and generating actionable intelligence. Its capabilities span malware analysis, phishing investigation and automated workflows intended to support security operations and incident response.
The company will also highlight its UniqueSignal threat intelligence feed, which is designed to provide additional context for security teams investigating suspicious activity.
For enterprises, the broader message is clear: as attackers become more adept at disguising malicious activity, security teams need intelligence that explains not only whether something is dangerous, but why it is dangerous and what it is attempting to do.
