PolySwarm (NCT)

PolySwarm (NCT) is a cryptocurrency that powers a next-generation malware intelligence marketplace. It taps into a robust network of threat detection engines to provide wide coverage against common threats and specializes in detecting emerging and rare threats that other engines often miss. Combining specialized engines developed by independent researchers and security teams, PolySwarm fills existing protection gaps and enhances enterprise defense against new threats.

Researchers who report threats via the PolySwarm platform are rewarded with Nectar (NCT) tokens based on the accuracy of their findings. This performance-based reward system incentivizes researchers to improve continuously threat detection accuracy. PolySwarm’s proprietary threat scoring algorithm, PolyScore, rates the probability that a file contains malware, allowing users to make faster and more accurate decisions, reduce incident response escalations, and save time and money in the process.

PolySwarm offers additional features such as customizable, geotargeted “PolyFeeds,” flexible metadata searches, unlimited YARA rulesets, and private communities for enhanced security. It serves various use cases, including investigation and incident response, malware feeds, data enrichment, SOC, and security automation. Through its marketplace, documentation, and dedicated support, PolySwarm aims to provide enterprises with the freshest malware intelligence and empower them to stay ahead of evolving threats.
