The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency has released a new version of "Malware Next-Gen," now allowing the public to submit malware samples for analysis by CISA. Malware Next-Gen is a malware analysis platform that examines malware samples for suspicious artifacts.
"The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency announces today a new release of our malware analysis system, called Malware Next-Gen, which allows any organization to submit malware samples and other suspicious artifacts for analysis," reads the announcement.
"Malware Next-Gen allows CISA to more effectively support our partners by automating analysis of newly identified malware and enhancing the cyber defense efforts."
Malware Next-Gen is designed to handle the growing workload of cyber-threat analysis by offering advanced and reliable analysis on a scalable platform featuring multilevel containment capabilities for automatic analysis of potentially malicious files or URLs.
For those who wish to remain anonymous, there's also an option to submit malware samples through this portal for unregistered users, though analysis results won't be made available to them.
Only CISA analysts and other vetted people will have access to the malware analysis reports generated by the system.
