A New Open Source Solution for Advanced Threat Detection From ClamAV Creators

tkcl writes: Contextal Platform is a new open-source threat detection and intelligence solution built by the original creators of ClamAV. Written in Rust, it takes a context-driven approach to analyzing security threats, allowing users to develop situational scenarios using ContexQL, a dedicated language designed with flexibility and performance in mind. These scenarios draw on global context, metadata, relationships, time, anomalies, content, and other factors to trigger specific actions.

The recently released Contextal Platform & Console 1.2 adds QR code processing to strengthen phishing protection, responsive UI for seamless mobile experience, and performance enhancements. Contextal Platform is fully open-source and available for anyone to use or extend. Installation and updates are quick and easy with the official images for x64 and arm64 (Linux/Mac). More details can be found on the project’s website.
