Note: Switzerland has ranked first in the competitiveness of the Global Innovation Index for 12 consecutive years, is an important source of innovation in the world, and is also China's first innovation strategic partnership country, which has excellent complementarity with China in the fields of innovation development and technology finance.
The "Switzerland Innovation 100", organized by Venturelab, brings together the best "Made in Switzerland" start-up and growth technology innovation companies, and is the most internationally influential innovation ecological benchmark in Switzerland. Since 2011, the list has selected 100 of the most pioneering and promising Switzerland innovative enterprises and 25 Switzerland growth enterprises with the most unicorn potential in Switzerland across the country every year, covering life sciences, construction machinery, robotics, information and communication, low-carbon technology, food technology and other fields, and 41 new companies have been added to the list this year.
In order to comprehensively display and introduce the most cutting-edge innovative technologies in Switzerland, Titanium Media APP and Insight Tech, the Chinese authorized partner of Venturelab, jointly launched the "Switzerland Top 100 Innovations" feature, which comprehensively displays the panorama of Switzerland's pioneering science and technology innovation ecology.
This article is the 96th issue of the column, and Threatray, a 2023 Switzerland Innovation 100 company, is developing malware detection and analysis tools.
Founded in 2018, Switzerland security technology company Threatray has developed a malware detection and analysis tool that uses a first-of-its-kind deep code analysis technology and code search engine powered by artificial intelligence and machine learning to detect, attribute and correlate malware at the code level, improving the security of enterprises against malware.
Threatray is a spin-off of the Bern University of Applied Sciences, co-founded by Prof. Endre Bangerter and Jonas Wagner. Endre Bangerter is a professor of cyber security at the Bern University of Applied Sciences and has more than 20 years of experience in the field.

In the information age, cyber security is an important issue that enterprises cannot ignore. Ransomware, phishing, malware, and other cyber attacks are diverse and increasingly sophisticated, and existing defense tools, such as firewalls, security detection and defense systems, and anti-virus software, have all played a positive role in security defense, but because they do not yet have the ability to conduct in-depth analysis of cyber attacks, there are still problems such as difficulty in detecting attribution and preventing advanced cyber threats in advance.

Threatray has developed a malware detection and analysis tool that uses first-of-its-kind deep code analysis technology and code search engine powered by artificial intelligence and machine learning to detect, attribute, and correlate malware at the code level to improve the security of organizations against malware.
Threatray's core technologies include AI and machine learning models for binary code analysis, as well as a highly scalable malware code search engine. Through artificial intelligence and machine learning models, Threatray is able to analyze previously inaccessible binary code structures at unprecedented speed and scale than ever before. Through a search engine, Threatray can match unknown samples to a database of more than 100 million malware binaries in seconds, looking for relationships between current and historical attacks, revealing connections between malware that other technologies can't currently discover. By quickly identifying malware and revealing similarities between current attacks and known threats, Threatray enables significant innovations in malware identification, attribution, and intelligence analysis and correlation.
基于此技术，Threatray推出了Binary Intelligence Platform和Binary Intelligence for Endpoint两款场景应用。
The Binary Intelligence Platform is primarily focused on AI detection and analysis of suspicious files and their binary code, and for the first time, unlocks the intelligence value of malware code. It uses a new approach to threat reporting and alerting that links unknown samples to malware mentioned in OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) reports, and can detect malware associations and variants with a single click, with results in seconds, eliminating the need to create Yara rules and extraction patterns, helping organizations more effectively warn of data breaches and protect files.
Binary Intelligence for Endpoint focuses on detecting "fileless malware" attacks in memory. Historically, memory has been a blind spot for malware detection, which advanced attackers can bypass and deploy fileless malware. With Endpoint Protection, Threatray scans process memory to identify suspicious loaded code from fileless malware, and performs AI detection analysis and attribution of that code. Threatray scans an endpoint in minutes and quickly inspects 1,000 endpoints. Threatray also stores and indexes every piece of code that has been analyzed, helping to retrace past events and determine if there are previously undiscovered security vulnerabilities or attacks.
Currently, Threatray has partnered with a number of companies, including La Mobilière, Switzerland's oldest insurance provider, InfoGuard, Switzerland's leading provider of cybersecurity solutions, and major companies such as Switzerland Post.
In 2021, Threatray raised 2.3 million Switzerland francs in a seed round and will further expand its team. Threatray wanted to use its code-based malware detection and analysis tools to help organizations, cybersecurity teams, and more defend against increasingly sophisticated global malware threats.
