Threats come from every angle. Threat protection should too.

What is Swarm Market?

Swarm is a decentralized threat intelligence market made possible by Ethereum smart contracts and blockchain technology.
Swarm incentivizes rapid innovation in the Antivirus and automated cyber threat intelligence space with precise economic incentives that reward timely and accurate threat intelligence.
The first of its kind, Swarm provides a seamless, real-time threat detection ecosystem involving enterprises, consumers, vendors and geographically diverse security experts.
The Swarm market lowers the barrier to entry and creates the market for tailored threat detection solutions.

Swarm fosters a global community of anti-malware experts that work quickly to investigate files, URLs & network traffic and form consensus regarding malicious intent.
Whereas today’s market forces users into one-size-fits-all products incapable of providing comprehensive coverage, Swarm’s distributed community of experts rewards specialized knowledge that together protects users from All Angles.

How does Swarm Market stand out?

Swarm creates value by re-imagining the threat intelligence market.
Swarm unlocks potential in dormant information security expertise by creating rewards for crowdsourced and collaborative malware detection.
Swarm incentivizes specialized knowledge and mandates interoperability, allowing enterprises and end users alike to obtain more complete threat coverage.

Headlines frequently call attention to shortcomings in today’s Antivirus and intrusion prevention / detection products.
We believe these shortcomings are caused by today’s market incentives.
Swarm is a carefully designed replacement for this market that will continue to push threat detection forward.
