Booz Allen Announces General Availability of Vellox Reverser to Automate Malware Defense

Key Terms

malware technical

Malware is malicious software that infiltrates computers, networks or devices to damage systems, steal or corrupt data, or disrupt normal operations — like a digital burglar or pest that sneaks in and tampers with a business’s tools and records. For investors, malware matters because attacks can cause service outages, lost sales, costly cleanup and legal penalties, erode customer trust, and create sudden, material risks to revenue and stock price.

reverse engineering technical

Reverse engineering is the process of taking apart or analyzing a product, system, or process to learn how it works so it can be reproduced, improved, or tested—like disassembling a watch to see how the gears and springs interact. For investors it matters because it can lead to copycat products, generic versions, or legal disputes over intellectual property, all of which can affect a company’s future sales, costs, and competitive position.

threat intelligence technical

Threat intelligence is actionable information about cyber risks—who might attack, how they operate, and what systems or data are vulnerable—gathered from monitoring networks, software behavior, and public reports. For investors it matters because strong threat intelligence helps a company prevent disruptions, avoid costly breaches and fines, and protect reputation, much like a weather forecast and neighborhood watch help a community prepare for storms and deter crime.

agentic ai technical

Agentic AI refers to computer systems that can make their own decisions and take actions without needing someone to tell them what to do each time. It's like giving a robot a degree of independence to solve problems or achieve goals on its own, which matters because it could change how we work and interact with technology in everyday life.

aws lambda technical

AWS Lambda is a cloud service that runs small pieces of software automatically when triggered, without the user having to set up or manage servers. For investors, it matters because it lets businesses scale computing tasks up or down and pay only for actual usage, which can reduce operating costs, speed product delivery, and affect a company’s competitive edge and margins.

amazon bedrock technical

Amazon Bedrock is a cloud-based platform that allows businesses to easily build and customize artificial intelligence tools without needing to develop them from scratch. It provides access to pre-made AI models, making advanced technology more accessible and faster to deploy. For investors, it signals ongoing efforts to lead in AI services, which could drive future growth and innovation in technology markets.

aws step functions technical

AWS Step Functions is a cloud service that coordinates a series of computing tasks into a single automated workflow, like a conductor guiding different musicians to play in the right order. It helps companies build reliable, repeatable processes—such as data pipelines, order processing, or automated tests—without stitching together many separate systems by hand. Investors care because it can reduce operational errors, speed product delivery, and lower engineering costs, all of which affect growth and profitability.

mitre att&ck framework technical

A structured, publicly documented knowledge base of common cyberattack behaviors and defensive measures that helps organizations describe, explore and respond to intrusions. Think of it as a playbook and map combined—listing typical attacker moves and where they happen—so security teams can test defenses and prioritize fixes. Investors care because companies that follow this framework tend to identify risks faster, reduce breach impact, and provide clearer security reporting, which affects value and liability.

AI-powered product delivers expert-grade malware analysis and reverse engineering in minutes

MCLEAN, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Booz Allen Hamilton (NYSE: BAH) today announced the general availability of Vellox Reverser™, a malware reverse engineering and threat intelligence product designed to radically accelerate cyber defense. Built with a resilient agentic AI architecture, Vellox Reverser rapidly automates time-intensive in-depth malware analysis of the most complex and evasive threats. The product delivers actionable intelligence and comprehensive countermeasures at machine speed that integrate seamlessly into existing security workflows.

The product is now widely available to help both federal and commercial customers accelerate wide-scale deployment, increase resiliency, speed and confidence, and immediately strengthen their cyber defenses.

“As AI-driven cyberattacks become one of the primary security concerns in 2026, we're proud to deliver a mission-grade malware analysis product that helps our customers address the most complex threats at speed," said Mujtaba Hamid, executive vice president of product at Booz Allen. “Vellox Reverser will serve as a force multiplier for security teams, embedding decades of Booz Allen cyber defense tradecraft into AI agents designed to replicate world-class malware analysts so our customers can analyze threats at a depth unmatched by other tools and solutions.”

A limited preview of Vellox Reverser, introduced in 2025, drove product refinements and new features including Binary and Function Similarity Matching. By comparing new analyzed samples against a database of previously analyzed sets of malware, this upgrade dramatically reduces investigation time and reveals links to broader adversarial cyber campaigns. These added features enable teams to build stronger, more scalable detection and threat hunting strategies by revealing how attack behaviors evolve over time, turning historical insights into proactive defense.

In a recent evaluation of a single, sophisticated malware sample, Vellox Reverser completed analysis in minutes, evaluating more than 120 functions and flagging 39 as malicious. It then generated a comprehensive report with indicators of compromise mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK framework, along with deployable defensive measures for rapid response.

Booz Allen built Vellox Reverser using AWS Lambda and Amazon Bedrock to ingest malware and assign tasks to analyze if for malicious behavior. The structure to orchestrate the agents and other AWS resources is provided by AWS Step Functions, which uses serverless orchestration, enabling a decision tree to identify the next step in threat elimination.

Vellox Reverser is now available — request a demo, start your 30 day trial and learn more.
