US-based Recorded Future, a real-time threat intelligence company powered by machine learning, announced on Friday, July 8, 2022, that it has acquired Dutch company Hatching, a cybersecurity specialist focused on malware sandboxing.
Any programme or file that purposefully hurts a computer, network, or server is known as malware, or malicious software. A malware sandbox is a method for malware detection that executes an untrustworthy object in a virtual machine (VM) with a fully functional OS and analyses the behaviour of the object to find any harmful activity. The sandbox recognises an object as malware if it does destructive acts within a virtual machine.
