Course Objective

What this programme helps you achieve

A hands-on 3 days programme that builds practical, job-ready capability in this area. Delivered through guided walkthroughs, worked examples and reusable checklists you can apply immediately.

Understand

Build a clear, structured understanding of the core concepts, terminology and drivers behind this domain.

Apply

Translate the framework into practical actions, controls and working methods you can use on real engagements.

Assess

Evaluate current-state maturity, identify gaps and prioritise the improvements that reduce the most risk.

Deliver

Produce the artefacts, evidence and reporting expected of a competent practitioner in this area.

Market Need

Why this matters now

Malware Analysis Fundamentals: Static and Dynamic Analysis addresses a capability that organisations increasingly need but often lack in a structured, defensible form. Teams frequently rely on ad-hoc knowledge, scattered documents or vendor claims instead of a repeatable method.

This programme closes that gap. It gives participants a shared vocabulary, a practical method and a set of reusable artefacts so the organisation can operate this domain consistently rather than reactively.

Framework alignment: Hands-on labs with static and dynamic analysis tooling.
Why Attend?
