Threat Intelligence and Malware Analysis Made Simple
Threat Intelligence and Malware Analysis Made Simple Threat intelligence and malware analysis are two gears in a security engine. Threat intelligence gathers stories about active attackers, their tools, and where they strike. Malware analysis digs into the code and behavior of malicious software to reveal its goals and methods. When used together, they help teams detect, respond, and recover faster. Start simple. A practical approach has three ideas: indicators of compromise (IOCs), malware behavior, and attacker techniques. IOCs are clues like file hashes or domain names that show a machine was touched. Behavior looks at what the malware does after it runs, such as creating files, making network calls, or bypassing protections. Techniques and procedures (TTPs) connect campaigns to tools and victims and guide defense choices. ...
