• •Modern malware techniques necessitate a shift from traditional signature-based defenses.

CodeHunter has been awarded in the Gen Behavioral Malware Analysis category at the 2026 Global InfoSec Awards. The award recognizes their innovative approach to behavioral malware analysis, which allows organizations to assess software behavior before execution, thus enforcing Zero Trust for Code principles. This method is crucial as modern attackers utilize AI-generated malware and polymorphic techniques that evade traditional defenses. CodeHunter's platform generates a Behavioral Intent Profile (BIP) for software artifacts, enabling security teams to make informed decisions on whether to allow or block code execution. The CEO of CodeHunter emphasized the need for security teams to focus on what software can do rather than its appearance. The recognition comes during the RSAC 2026 Conference, highlighting the importance of evolving security measures against increasing cyber threats.
