CISA Releases Thorium for Automated Malware Analysis
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), along with Sandia National Laboratories, has released Thorium – “a scalable platform for automated file analysis and result aggregation.”
Thorium lets teams integrate commercial and open source analysis tools to assess malware threats and generate forensic analysis results. It is “configured to ingest over 10 million files per hour per permission group and schedule over 1,700 jobs per second, while maintaining a fast results query,” the announcement states.
The platform lets you integrate command-line tools as Docker images and can be used for:
- Filtering tool results
- Controlling access through strict group-based permissions
- Defining event triggers and tool execution sequences to automate workflows
- Result aggregation
- Tool sharing
