Before you can access an API key or download malware samples, it is essential to complete the Hybrid Analysis Vetting Process. Remember that compliance with the Hybrid Analysis Terms and Conditions is required, and the samples available should strictly be used for research purposes only. It is also crucial to keep your user credentials and API key confidential; sharing them with others is not allowed. If you suspect that your API key or user credentials have been compromised, it is imperative to notify Hybrid Analysis promptly. In some instances, vetting requests may be rejected due to incomplete submissions or missing information such as a full real name, business name, or other cybersecurity credential validation. Should your request be denied, you have the option to submit a new vetting request for further consideration. Moreover, providing all necessary information in your application can greatly enhance the efficiency of the vetting process, ensuring a quicker and more effective resolution. Taking these steps will help you make the most of the resources available on the platform.
