What Is forensic malware analysis ?
When a system's security is breached or questioned, Digital Forensics is the discipline that can help discover what went wrong. Some digital forensics methods necessitate suspending or interrupting services on the platforms to be examined.
It is a method of locating, analyzing, and examining various aspects of malware in order to identify the perpetrators and cause of the attack. Checking out malicious code, determining its entry, method of propagation, impact on the system, ports it tries to use, and so on are all part of the method. Investigators use a variety of techniques and instruments to perform forensic investigations.
Safely execute and analyze malware in a secure environment
Advanced malware is part of a larger group of advanced, persistent cyber threats that work together to breach an organization's defenses and establish a long-term presence in the network. Malware analysis is crucial for preventing and detecting future cyber-attacks. Cyber security experts can investigate the attack lifecycle and derive vital forensic details using malware analysis technologies to improve their threat intelligence.
Malware Analysis products provide a secure environment in which advanced malicious activities can be tested, replayed, characterized, and documented. Malware Analysis depicts the entire lifetime of a cyber assault, from the initial exploit through the malware execution path, as well as callback destinations and binary download attempts.
