How We Use Your PE Files?
All the data collected by Valkyrie is only used for the purpose of malware analysis. All the files go through static analysis, dynamic analysis and human expert analysis (if needed) processes to get the final verdict.
Service Providers and Data Retention
Amazon AWS provides the End-User Interface (Cloud Platform) of Valkyrie. And these contents are transferred to Comodo Data Center where they are stored. The contents on Amazon AWS are automatically deleted after the malware analysis is finalized. File metadata and data related to malware analysis process, which may contain digital asset data such as IP addresses, domains and file paths that the malware performs an action on when executed, are stored both Comodo Servers and on Amazon AWS.
Is your data shared with other Valkyrie Users?
Other users of Valkyrie might query the verdict and see the detailed analysis result of the files uploaded by you if the hash of the file is available to them, which generally means that they also have the file on their end- point as well. However, no information about you as an individual or contents of the files are not shared with any customer or 3rd party.
