PolySwarm sees weaknesses in the organization of the anti-malware industry (not the anti-malware companies, but the market) and in VirusTotal.

The problem with VirusTotal comes in two undesirable side-effects. The first is that it promotes the potential for false positives. Files submitted to VirusTotal are not analyzed by human analysts but are subject to the anti-malware engines of all the leading anti-malware companies.

The second problem with VirusTotal is that it restricts the anti-malware market -- it implies that the anti-malware market comprises solely the big companies that add their engines to VirusTotal. In reality there may be thousands of very small companies and independent experts with specialist knowledge in specific areas around the world.

"The PolySwarm ecosystem thus actively engages and rewards talented cyber experts, with disparate specialized skill-sets, from across the world who would otherwise not have had opportunities to contribute to global cyber safety."
