Threat Hunting and Malware Analysis in Practice Threat hunting and malware analysis go hand in hand. A proactive defender looks for signs of compromise before a big incident, then digs into suspicious files to learn how they work. This practical guide shows a simple, repeatable approach you can apply in many teams, even with modest tooling. The goal is clear: turn scattered hints into solid understanding and safer systems. A practical workflow helps turn alerts into action. Start with a small, testable hypothesis based on recent alerts, unusual processes, or new threat intel. Then follow a data-driven path to confirm or refute it. ...

Threat Intelligence and Malware Analysis: Staying Ahead of Adversaries Threat intelligence and malware analysis help security teams stay ahead of adversaries. By combining data about attackers, tools, and how malicious software behaves, organizations can prepare defenses, speed up detection, and reduce damage. This post offers a practical approach that fits many teams, from small shops to larger security operations centers. A short threat intelligence loop includes five steps: collection, enrichment, analysis, dissemination, and action. Collect data from internal alerts, firewall and endpoint telemetry, and public feeds. Enrich it with context such as actor, tactic, targets, and expected malware families. Analyze patterns in samples and traffic, identify common behaviors, and track new IOCs over time. Share insights with incident responders and security engineers, and use the findings to tune rules, dashboards, and playbooks. ...

Incident Response and Digital Forensics Essentials Incident response and digital forensics are two sides of the same coin. When a cyber event hits, you need a plan that guides people and a method that preserves evidence. This article covers core concepts, practical steps, and ready-to-use checklists for real cases. Preparation matters, but speed matters too. A calm plan helps you contain damage faster, and regular practice makes the plan part of your team’s routine. ...
