Case Study: Malwarebytes achieves real-time malware detection and scalable stateful storage with Redis Enterprise

With an Assist from Redis Enterprise, Malwarebytes Makes the Digital World a Safer Place

Malwarebytes, a leading anti-malware and internet security provider, was collecting billions of detection records but struggled to turn that volume into real-time intelligence. The team needed stateful storage and fast streaming joins to power massive geospatial and time‑series visualizations (their so‑called “zombie apocalypse” maps) and found prior solutions like DynamoDB and Kafka KTables either too slow or difficult to maintain.

Deploying Redis Enterprise gave Malwarebytes in‑memory performance, centralized stateful storage, and rich data structures (Sets, Hashes, Geo Sets) to perform real‑time streaming joins, time‑series and geospatial analysis at scale. The outcome was high‑throughput ingestion and subsecond analytics, production‑grade availability and scalability, strong engineering support, and interactive dashboards that trace malware trajectories, velocities, and outbreak geography in real time.
