Threat Intelligence and Malware Analysis for Defenders Threat intelligence provides context and signals that help defenders decide where to focus malware analysis. By linking observed samples to real campaigns, you triage faster and avoid chasing low‑risk leads. It also helps you anticipate what attackers may try next and tailor defenses for outcomes you see most often. Malware analysis turns intel into action. Static analysis looks at the file type, packing, strings, and the PE structure. Dynamic analysis runs the sample in a safe sandbox to watch file creation, registry changes, network calls, and process injection. From both paths you collect indicators: hashes, domains, IPs, mutex names, and suspicious file names. Map these signals to attacker goals and to tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) so your team understands why the sample matters. ...

Threat Intelligence and Malware Analysis: Staying Ahead of Adversaries Threat intelligence helps teams understand who is attacking, why, and how. Malware analysis shows what a piece of software does when it runs. Together they help defenders stay ahead of new campaigns and fast-changing tools. This combination reduces blind spots. Start with clear goals: protect critical assets, detect unusual behavior, and shorten response time. Gather signals from external feeds, internal telemetry, and incident reports. Common signals include indicators of compromise, suspicious domains, malware hashes, and observed behaviors such as unusual file modifications or new outbound connections. ...

Cyber Threat Landscape: Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures The world of cyber threats is large and fast-changing. Security teams study Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures, or TTPs, to understand how attackers act. By looking at TTPs, defenders can spot patterns and block attacks earlier. TTPs describe the route from first contact to final impact. A typical path includes initial access, execution, persistence, and data theft. Each step offers chances to detect and interrupt. ...

Cyber Threat Intelligence: From Indicators to Action Threat intelligence helps security teams turn raw data into useful decisions. Indicators of compromise and attacker techniques are starting points, but true value comes from context and a clear path to action. The goal is to reduce risk, not just collect more signals. Think of intel as a lifecycle: collect from trusted sources, enrich with internal context, analyze for relevance, share with the right people, and act with concrete countermeasures. When you connect data to business assets, you can prioritize alerts, guide investigations, and speed up containment. ...

Cybersecurity Threats 101: From Phishing to Advanced Attacks Every day, cyber threats touch personal and work life. Many arrive as simple emails, but others use growing techniques to stay hidden. This guide explains common threats from the basics to advanced tricks, and offers practical steps you can take today. Phishing and Social Engineering Phishing emails try to trick you into revealing passwords or clicking harmful links. Look for urgent requests, unusual sender names, or attachments you didn’t expect. Social engineering uses human psychology to bypass tech tools. A fake invoice, a security alert, or a message that seems to come from a colleague are common tricks. ...
