When an incident happens, there’s no time to waste. SOC teams must react fast to protect their organization, and this requires more than expertise. Strong solutions tailored to the needs of businesses can make all the difference.
The secret to radically cutting response time for incidents lies in equipping your SOC team with an enterprise-grade solution suited for teams that delivers fast, efficient results.
In this article, we’ll break down how Interactive Sandbox by ANY.RUN helps teams worldwide significantly reduce MTTR and improve proactive detection.
What makes interactive malware analysis stand out
ANY.RUN’s hands-on approach promotes a cutting-edge way to achieve improved metrics, including reduced MTTR, and well-informed protection of company infrastructure.
The dual power of interactivity and real-time visibility into threats solves two major challenges SOC teams often face:
| Challenge | ANY.RUN Solution |
| Slow reaction to threats: SOC teams waste time on routine manual tasks and unoptimized processes. | Interactive response: Analysts perform in-depth investigation in an easy-to-use interface with instant reports, reducing workload and accelerating triage. |
| Poor threat visibility: Automated solutions might speed up investigation but deliver only surface-level detection. | Deep research in real time: Every action malware takes can be explored at an instant, enabling fast and well-informed moves. |
That’s what takes interactive sandboxes like ANY.RUN a step beyond traditional automated malware analysis. Analysts see more than the final verdict; they can control the process and interact with malware. All this leads to a better understanding and more efficient conclusions.
Impact in numbers
With interactive malware analysis, SOC teams achieve impressive results, such as:
- 21 min reduction in MTTR per incident
- Up to 58% more threats identified overall
- Faster threat investigations in 95% of cases
Another factor that further accelerates incident response is smart automation. In ANY.RUN sandbox, most repetitive actions can be done automatically, including solving a CAPTCHA or opening a link.
The sandbox performs actions necessary for detonation without increasing the workload of the analyst, allowing them to focus on more pressing tasks.

Breaking down a real-world threat in under a minute
Most attacks start with phishing. Malicious emails can be very deceptive and lead to company-wide security compromises. But it takes seconds to see the truth in ANY.RUN’s Interactive Sandbox.
In the analysis below, you can see a pdf file that seems harmless at first glance. But once opened, it reaches out to a phishing page hosted on SharePoint, a legitimate domain that once again might lead you to believe that it’s trustworthy.
However, the sandbox flags it as malicious and attributes as phishing within seconds.
By browsing through tabs and observing threat behavior, analysts get to react to the threat as quickly as possible: they can confirm and escalate the high-risk threat, block malicious domains or IPs related to it, and start remediation before attackers gain a foothold.
Without a sandbox, this kind of attack would be easy to miss. The file looks like a regular PDF, the hosting domain is trusted. But this threat could lead to stolen credentials using social engineering and invisible redirections.
Empower your SOC with a fast and simple sandbox to gain:
- Faster Threat Response: Attacks will be detected early on, reducing the window of exposure.
- Lower MTTR: Immediate insights into threat behavior will enable analysts to act with speed and confidence.
- Less Routine Workload: SOC team will be free to focus on high-value tasks and strategic action, while repetitive tasks will be done automatically.
Conclusion
By reducing investigation time and eliminating manual setup, ANY.RUN helps SOC teams operate more efficiently, while minimizing exposure to threats.
Faster detection and deeper visibility give analysts the clarity and control needed to protect company’s environment before an incident escalates.
