Companies and individuals have a powerful tool in the fight against malware, thanks to CISA making its Malware Next-Gen malware analyzer available to the public.

CISA is on the forefront in the war against malware and cybersecurity threats, tracking threats and working with organizations to counter them. The agency’s Malware Next-Gen is a malware analysis platform that uses a combination of methods to identify malware.

CISA’s Malware Next-Generation “Next-Gen” Analysis platform provides automated malware analysis support for all U.S. federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial government agencies. Analysis is performed by a combination of static and dynamic analysis tools in a secure environment and results are available in PDF and STIX 2.1 data formats.

CISA has made the tool available to the public, with the ability to use it as a registered or anonymous user, although only registered users will receive analysis reports.
