Multi-Vector Virtual Execution (MVX) engine
The core of the FireEye platform is the patented Multi-Vector Virtual Execution (MVX) engine, which provides dynamic, real-time analysis of advanced malware. The MVX engine captures and confirms zero-day and targeted advanced persistent threat (APT) attacks by detonating suspicious files, Web objects, and email attachments within instrumented virtual machine environments.
