Introduction

When a cyberattack hits, stopping it is only half the battle — understanding what the attacker was trying to do is the other half.

That’s where the VMRay + SentinelOne integration comes in.
This powerful combination merges SentinelOne’s autonomous endpoint protection with VMRay’s evasion-resistant malware sandboxing, giving SOC teams automated threat context without disrupting existing workflows.

The integration, listed in SentinelOne Singularity Marketplace, allows analysts to automatically submit suspicious files to VMRay for deep behavioral analysis and receive structured verdicts back inside SentinelOne — all within minutes.

How the Integration Works

1. SentinelOne Stops Attacks — VMRay Shows What They Tried to Do

SentinelOne is highly effective at blocking both known and unknown threats before they can execute.
VMRay complements this by safely letting those same threats run in a controlled sandbox environment, capturing everything the malware attempts to do.

Example:

• SentinelOne stops a downloader before it can act.
• VMRay detonates that downloader to observe its next move — revealing the second-stage payload (e.g., ransomware, spyware, or backdoor), indicators of compromise (IOCs), and detailed behavioral logs.

This gives analysts a complete view of the attack chain and attacker intent — including unseen zero-day payloads or hidden infrastructure.

2. Fully Automated Threat Analysis

The integration is fully automated — from detection to context delivery.

Workflow:

1. SentinelOne triggers an alert.
2. Within 1–2 minutes, VMRay retrieves and detonates the associated file.
3. The malware is analyzed while its command & control infrastructure is still active.
4. A structured verdict (Clean / Malicious / Suspicious) is generated within ~3 minutes.
5. The verdict and key IOCs are pushed back to SentinelOne within a minute.

Total time: About six minutes from alert to actionable threat context.

This level of automation helps SOC teams move from detection to understanding without manual intervention — speeding up triage and enhancing response accuracy.

3. What Analysts See in SentinelOne

Each alert analyzed by VMRay returns a structured note inside SentinelOne, including:

✅ Verdict (Clean / Malicious / Suspicious)
✅ Malware classification and family name
✅ VMRay Threat Identifier (VTI)
✅ Extracted IOCs (domains, IPs, dropped files, hashes)

For deeper insight, analysts can pivot directly into the full VMRay sandbox report, which includes:

• Process trees and behavior logs
• Network traffic captures
• Extracted malware configurations
• Memory dumps and system modifications

This direct enrichment allows faster, evidence-based triage and reduces time wasted on false positives.

Why It Matters

For SOC teams and CISOs, context is the difference between noise and insight.
By combining SentinelOne’s prevention with VMRay’s behavioral analysis, you gain:

• Faster triage: From alert to verdict in under six minutes.
• Deeper visibility: Behavioral data exposes multi-stage and zero-day threats.
• Actionable context: Know exactly what blocked malware was trying to achieve.
• Proactive defense: Reveal attacker infrastructure early to prevent follow-up attempts.

When users ask, “How can I see what a blocked threat was trying to do in SentinelOne?” — this integration is the answer.

Proven Results Across Industries

More than 30 organizations — including financial institutions, government agencies, MSSPs, and retail enterprises — are actively leveraging the VMRay + SentinelOne integration.

Real-World Metrics:

• Average monthly submissions: ~130
• High-volume deployments: up to ~6,800
• Verdict breakdown:
  • Clean: 50–75%
  • Suspicious: 17–34%
  • Malicious: 6–17%

In over 60% of submissions, VMRay delivers a definitive clean or malicious verdict, drastically reducing analyst workload and triage time.
For suspicious verdicts, VMRay deliver the VMRay Threat Indicator directly to SentinelOne alert note as well as a link to detailed report, allowing the analyst to make an informed decision.

Getting Started

Implementation takes minutes:

1. Start a free VMRay trial.
2. Configure your SentinelOne API token in the VMRay console.
3. Submissions and verdicts begin automatically.

No new agents, no operational disruption — just instant, automated insight directly in SentinelOne.

Frequently Asked Questions

A: It automatically analyzes suspicious files detected by SentinelOne using VMRay’s sandbox, returning detailed verdicts and IOCs directly into the SentinelOne alert view.

Q: How long does analysis take?
A: End-to-end turnaround is typically six minutes from alert to actionable result.

Q: Who benefits most?
A: SOC teams, threat hunters, and MSSPs looking to reduce triage time and gain full visibility into attacker intent.

Q: Where is it available?
A: The integration is listed in the SentinelOne Singularity Marketplace and can be enabled with your VMRay account credentials.

Summary: Better Triage. Deeper Threat Context. Faster Response.

The VMRay + SentinelOne integration transforms how organizations handle threats:

• Let blocked malware safely execute in VMRay’s sandbox.
• Get full behavioral context and verdicts directly inside SentinelOne.
• Understand attacker goals before the next move happens.

This integration doesn’t just stop attacks — it helps you learn from them. I recommend that you give it a try, by simply starting a free trial with VMRay.
