What Key Factors and Trends are Driving the Growth of the Malware Analysis Market?
The escalation in the frequency of cyberattacks is likely to fuel the expansion of the malware analysis market in the future. A cyber attack, carried out by cybercriminals, typically involves the targeting of multiple computers or networks with a single or multiple computers.

What Trends are Shaping the Malware Analysis Market?
Leading entities in the malware analysis market are emphasizing on the inclusion of cutting-edge methodologies such as hybrid analyzers to maintain their competitive position. A hybrid analyzer amalgamates static and dynamic analysis strategies to thoroughly inspect and comprehend malevolent software. For example, in September 2022, Cyren Inc, an internet security technology firm based in Israel, initiated its new product, Hybrid Analyzer. This novel product provides exhaustive analysis and risk assessments of files, doing away with the cost, pace, and scalability limitations common with sandboxes and other malware file analysis technologies. The chances of unnoticed infections are reduced by this new solution for large businesses, technology firms, and service providers. Although new malware constitutes only about 10% of files, it bears almost the entire risk of infection. Cyren's Hybrid Analyzer rapidly generates a large amount of essential file structure and activity data, effectively filling the void between anti-malware detection and sandbox detonation.
