Stylized digital illustration of a multi-layered circuit board. A glowing blue microchip sits at the top center, with intricate circuitry radiating outward. Beneath it, four stacked layers transition in color from blue to orange, each featuring circuit-like patterns. Smaller rectangular and circular components are connected around the layers, all set against a dark background with scattered geometric shapes. Blog Project Ire autonomously identifies malware at scale 

Designed to classify software without context, Project Ire replicates the gold standard in malware analysis through reverse engineering. It streamlines a complex, expert-driven process, making large-scale malware detection faster & more consistent.
