Open-Enrollment Course: "Introduction to Malware Analysis"
Malware is a growing threat to the information and intellectual property of organizations as techniques from attackers become increasingly sophisticated. This course will provide a foundational understanding of malicious software, how malware has shaped the global cyber security landscape, and its future impact. Discussions and hands-on exercises will demonstrate malware analysis processes and their complexities as well as illustrate how to appropriately size, design, and build an analytical capability best suited for your organization. Participants will prepare an analysis test-bed and analyze multiple malware samples. Think like a Black Hat, exploring advanced techniques and tools, including data exfiltration and stealthy operation, to understand the tactics of malware authors.
