The ‘Mobile Malware Reverse Engineering’ course, created by Kaspersky experts, improves any security team’s ability to counter various cyber threats caused by smartphones in the workplace. The new learning program assists in the development of skills such as Android dynamic instrumentation and reverse engineering Ghidra native binaries. It also discusses advanced static analysis features and how to analyze mobile malware for Android and iOS. This is relevant for specialists in the government sector, IT security companies and labs, and enterprise SOC teams who want to hone their skills in mobile threat hunting.
Keeping systems intact has become a growing challenge for corporate IT security and SOC teams because of almost everyone in the world owns a smartphone that mixes the person’s private and professional lives. This fact allows cybercriminals and sophisticated APT actors use mobile malware in cyberattacks against organizations, so the ability to counter such attacks is crucial for corporate security teams.
The new course in the Kaspersky Expert Training portfolio is ‘Mobile Malware Reverse Engineering.’ It is based on Kaspersky’s extensive experience in this field and was written by Victor Chebyshev, one of the company’s leading experts on mobile malware. The course includes reverse engineering of some outstanding and one-of-a-kind malware samples, including MagicKarakurt, LightSpy, and the DuKong framework.
Students will study various indicators (permissions, strings, signatures, resource files) and learn how to analyze native libraries and mobile malware for Android and iOS during the course.
The well-structured videos and hands-on virtual labs promote effective learning, and the on-demand format allows for independent study. Students will have access to all training materials as well as 100 hours of virtual lab time for six months.
“The use of mobile devices within the company is a commonplace and this is a reason for organizations need to be prepared for all kind of threats caused by smartphones to avoid a cybersecurity breach. Keeping this risk in mind we developed a course aimed at security professionals and SOC team managers to help them identify threats on time and keep the business safe. Within the course we will demonstrate infamous malware samples and provide students with detailed practical comments. You’re unlikely to find such practice in any other course”, says Victor Chebyshev, Lead Security Researcher. To learn more about Kaspersky Expert Training, please visit the web site.
