Malware Lab
Our Malware Lab analyzes new threats daily through threat hunting networks, with the aim of understanding the technological evolution of cyberattacks in real-time - such as infection vectors, evasion techniques, persistence, and propagation. These activities allow us to consolidate strategic knowledge to improve the effectiveness and timeliness of incident response and actively contribute to the dissemination of information on emerging threats within the expert’s community, as well as among clients, partners, and institutions.
Malware Lab analysts are constantly engaged in researching and experimenting with innovative tools and methodologies for advanced malware analysis, aiming to increase accuracy and coverage against emerging techniques used by threat actors. The team has developed an automated process for the daily extraction of Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) from malware samples, feeding our proprietary Knowledge Base. Moreover, it is also actively involved in developing tools dedicated to malware analysis and supporting incident management and response.
Threat Analysis
The Malware Lab is a Research Center specialized in studying the main techniques adopted by malware, with a focus on evasion, propagation, persistence, and infection.
We continuously analyze the most relevant malware campaigns, characterizing their ‘modus operandi’, the technologies employed, and profiling the threat actors active on the international landscape.
To support these activities, the Malware Lab relies on a dedicated honeynet designed to analyze new malware campaigns targeting the national perimeter.
