FAQ

ReversingLabs is built for enterprise malware analysis at scale, while VirusTotal is primarily designed for broad, community-driven file scanning. ReversingLabs supports significantly larger files, analyzes a wider range of file types, and maintains a much larger dataset of both malware and goodware. It also delivers faster verdicts through proprietary, high-speed binary analysis, applies AI-driven multi-factor classification for higher accuracy and less false positives, and keeps all customer submissions private by default. Flexible deployment models and predictable pricing makes it easy to cost-effectively scale as needed.

Yes. ReversingLabs can analyze files up to 100 GB, compared to VirusTotal’s 650 MB limit. This allows security teams to inspect large installers, disk images, containers, firmware, and other complex binaries that exceed typical file size constraints.

Yes. ReversingLabs performs private file analysis by default. Submitted samples are never shared in public repositories and are stored in a customer-isolated threat repository, which customers control. Organizations can deploy ReversingLabs as a SaaS solution, on-premises, or in fully air-gapped environments to meet strict data protection and compliance requirements.

Yes. ReversingLabs combines deep static binary analysis with built-in interactive sandboxing for dynamic analysis. It also integrates with third-party sandbox technologies, enabling extended behavioral analysis as part of broader security workflows.
