Malicious files feed
Malicious files feed provides real-time information on the currently prevalent malware samples as well as their characteristics and IoCs (Indicators of Compromise). The feed helps you understand which malicious files are being seen in the wild and enables you to proactively block them before they can cause any harm. It features the assessment of shared hashes of malicious executable files and associated data. The feed is updated frequently, and it comes with filtering so that customers only obtain relevant data with low levels of redundancy.
ESET ensures compatibility through using standards like TAXII 2.1 and STIX 2.1, which make the ESET threat intelligence data easily consumable across various TIP, XDR/EDR, SIEM, SOAR, and firewalls. Each of these feeds is created in near real time, and deduplication happens every 24 hours.
Malicious file feed mainly utilizes the following STIX 2.1 SDO, SRO and SCO objects and related metadata:
Example data is directly available inside the ESET Threat Intelligence portal. To use the portal without the license in Demo mode, follow the steps in the Get started guide to create an account. Additionally, see the Demo mode topic.
