InQuest combines Deep File Inspection (DFI) and RetroHunting™ to bring the threat hunting capabilities of VirusTotal Intelligence to your own environment. VirusTotal provides analysts with powerful tools to threat hunt against millions of files, domains, and IPs, but has the drawback of not currently offering a self-hosted option for organizations that wish to keep their data private.

Due to the variability in anti-virus and malware detection methodologies, organizations can benefit from the coverage that a multi-AV solution provides. To facilitate this, InQuest includes OPSWAT MetaDefender as part of its network-based malware detection products.
