雲端 由於網路威脅日趨複雜，安全問題持續面臨壓力。企業平均每天每 1,000 封電子郵件會阻擋35 個以電子郵件為基礎的威脅，而到 2026 年，全球用於網路安全解決方案的支出預計將超過 3 ,000 億美元。對於知名的雲端安全供應商而言，平衡高處理能力與精確的威脅偵測，是維持客戶信任與營運效率的關鍵。
一家總部位於美國、超過1000名員工的雲端安全解決方案供應商，正面臨這項挑戰。他們的電子郵件和網頁安全平台，每天要處理數以百萬計的檔案，但傳統沙箱工具的擴充性和成本效益，卻無法滿足他們的需求。現有的解決方案在處理大量生產力檔案 (例如 PDF、Office 檔案和影像附件) 時，速度會變慢，使他們無法跟上客戶需求的成長。
Enter OPSWAT’s MetaDefender Aether: an adaptive, emulation-based malware analysis solution built to meet the speed, accuracy, and scalability demands of modern cloud environments. By integrating this next-gen technology, the company drastically reduced file processing times, enhanced detection accuracy, and cut operational costs—all while maintaining their commitment to exceptional cloud security.
您的企業究竟需要什麼樣的解決方案？
該公司不需要自己得出結論。在OPSWAT團隊專業的知識和諮詢幫助下，企業不僅能更瞭解他們面臨的挑戰該如何拆解，並且OPSWAT 團隊能為企業量身定制解決方案。以下是該團隊的需求：
- 可擴充性強：要可以處理跨越多個地區的每日流量和峰值流量。
- 成本效益：避免產生與基於虛擬機器的沙箱解決方案相關的過高成本。
- 精確度和速度：處理生產力檔案 (例如 PDF、Office 檔案和影像附件) 時必須有精確度和速度，可快速偵測威脅，並將誤報率降至最低。
- 雲端 相容性：可輕鬆整合至公司現有的 AWS 環境。
While the company explored various alternatives first, they ultimately decided to trial MetaDefender Aether from OPSWAT.
「我們需要一個可以擴充的解決方案，以滿足我們不斷成長的需求，同時控制成本。傳統的沙箱技術雖然有效，但隨著我們的資料處理需求不斷增加，已無法持續下去。」

實施新一代惡意軟體分析
MetaDefender Aether was seamlessly integrated into the customer’s cloud-based pipeline to identify and block threats in email and web traffic. Leveraging multiple layers of analysis, including static, dynamic, and reputation checks, the sandbox quickly identifies threats in common attachment types such as PDFs, Office files, and images. The emulation-based approach enables the company to bypass resource-heavy VM analysis for over 80% of incoming files, reducing average scan times from several minutes to under 20 seconds—a time savings of over 70%. Additionally, this shift has led to a significant reduction in cloud processing costs, cutting operational expenses associated with VM-based sandboxing by approximately 60%.
這些實質上的改進，不僅增強了他們的威脅偵測能力，也在規模上提供了可衡量的效率和成本節省。
Integrating MetaDefender Aether into our pipeline was seamless. We were able to reduce analysis times dramatically, handling most files in under 20 seconds. This improvement allowed our team to focus on more critical threats, rather than getting bogged down by routine analysis.

部署
One of the key aspects of their decision, the company was able to quickly and easily integrate MetaDefender Aether with their existing cloud-based in an AWS environment. With strict data privacy and security protocols, the company successfully integrated MetaDefender Aether directly into its cloud processing pipeline, adding it as a quick, dynamic analysis step that streamlined threat detection without compromising accuracy. This multi-layered approach involved the following sequential analysis stages:
- 防毒引擎：進行快速靜態分析。
- MetaDefender Aether: Provides a fast dynamic analysis, identifying potential threats with a verdict that quickly allows or restricts files.
This configuration enabled MetaDefender Aether to process the majority of files quickly, with only a small percentage moving to the slower VM-based sandbox if flagged for further investigation. The system was optimized for productivity files, the most common in business environments, significantly reducing the cost of threat analysis.
「OPSWAT的工程團隊，在部署過程中提供了很棒的支援，與我們的內部團隊緊密合作，讓系統迅速啟動並運行。他們的彈性和專業知識，對於確保系統順利過渡非常寶貴。」

關鍵成果
Since implementing MetaDefender Aether, the cybersecurity provider has achieved substantial improvements in performance, scalability, and cost-effectiveness, benefiting from:
- High Throughput: Processing up to 250,000 files per day in four AWS regions, MetaDefender Aether supports global scale with consistent performance and fast scan times (averaging 20 seconds per file).
- Cost Savings: With MetaDefender Aether reducing the reliance on costly VM-based sandboxes, the company has seen substantial reductions in their operational costs.
- Enhanced Detection Accuracy: False positives have decreased, with MetaDefender Aether leveraging machine learning to self-correct over time. This capability has allowed the company to maintain high detection efficacy with minimal manual intervention.
- 提高效率：該公司現在可在管道的較早階段阻斷威脅，只針對高風險檔案保留以虛擬機器為基礎的分析，進而加快整體處理時間，並減少安全分析師的手動工作量。
- Increased Productivity: MetaDefender Aether’s faster threat detection freed up valuable time for the company’s security analysts, greatly reducing their overall workload.
By reducing our reliance on VM-based sandboxing, we cut costs by over 80%. MetaDefender Aether provided a faster, more accurate detection layer that didn’t sacrifice security performance, even at peak volumes
