VirusTotal
See how security teams use AI agents with VirusTotal to investigate threats, validate links, and analyze suspicious files without leaving their communication channels.
An employee receives a questionable email link and pastes it into the security team's chat. Your AI Agent submits the URL to VirusTotal, waits for the scan to complete, and reports that 12 of 72 engines flagged it as phishing. The agent includes the specific detection names and the URL's creation date. The team blocks the domain company-wide within minutes of the initial report.
A DevOps engineer downloads a third-party binary for production use. Before deploying, they ask the agent to check the file's SHA-256 hash. Your AI Agent retrieves the VirusTotal file report, confirms zero detections across all engines, and shows the file's signature and metadata. The engineer deploys with confidence that the binary is clean.
Before integrating with a new payment provider, the compliance team wants to verify their domain reputation. Your AI Agent pulls the VirusTotal domain report showing clean reputation, valid SSL certificate, established WHOIS history, and no historical associations with malicious activity. The report feeds directly into the vendor assessment document without manual research.
