Threat Intelligence and Malware Analysis in Practice
Threat Intelligence and Malware Analysis in Practice Security teams blend threat intelligence with malware analysis to understand danger in real situations. Threat intelligence gathers data about attackers, their goals, tools, and methods. Malware analysis digs into how a file behaves, what it changes on a system, and how it communicates. Together, they turn raw signals into actionable knowledge. A practical workflow helps teams stay consistent. Start with data sources: open feeds, vendor reports, internal telemetry, incident tickets, and observations from the network. Next, enrich these signals by linking indicators of compromise, attacker TTPs, and asset context. Then analyze: static analysis looks at the file itself, strings, packers, and metadata; dynamic analysis runs the sample in a sandbox to observe behavior safely. Finally, act: translate findings into detections, alerts, short intelligence notes, and shareable reports for blue teams and leadership. ...
