Incident Response

Malware Analysis

Our analysts take apart the malicious code found in your environment, work out exactly what it does and how it spreads, and give you the indicators and guidance to remove it and keep it out.

What we assess

We take the malware apart to understand its intent

A piece of malware is a set of instructions, and reading them tells you what the attacker wanted. Our analysts examine the sample in a controlled environment to reveal its behaviour, its reach and the fingerprints you can use to find it everywhere else.

Static Analysis

Examination of the sample’s code and structure without running it, revealing capabilities and hidden strings.

Code inspection

Dynamic Analysis

Controlled detonation in a sandbox to watch the malware’s real behaviour as it executes.

Safe detonation

Command & Control

Identification of the servers and channels the malware uses to receive instructions and send data.

C2 discovery

Payload & Persistence

Analysis of what the malware installs and how it survives reboots and clean-up attempts.

Foothold review

Indicators of Compromise

Extraction of hashes, domains and signatures your tools can use to hunt the threat across your estate.

IOC extraction

Remediation Guidance

Clear steps to remove the malware fully and close the gaps that let it run in the first place.

Clean-up plan

Finding Malware Is Only the Start. Understanding It Is What Lets You Remove It for Good.

A single detected file rarely tells the whole story. Modern malware hides its purpose, spreads quietly and reinstalls itself after a reboot, so a quick delete often leaves the real infection untouched. Until you know what the code actually does, where it phones home and how it persists, you cannot be confident your environment is clean or that the attacker has truly lost their foothold.

Our analysts pull the sample apart in a controlled lab, combining static inspection with dynamic detonation to see exactly how it behaves. We map its command and control, its persistence and its spread, then hand you the indicators of compromise your tools need to hunt it everywhere it hides. The result is a practical picture of the threat and a clear plan to remove it fully and stop it returning.

Standards and Frameworks We Work To

  • We classify malware behaviour against the MITRE ATT&CK framework, so the techniques we find connect directly to defensive controls your team can strengthen.
  • Our analysis supports the NIST SP 800-83 guidance on malware incident prevention and handling, feeding directly into containment and eradication.
  • We produce indicators in shareable formats such as STIX and YARA rules, so your detection tooling and threat intelligence can put our findings to work immediately.
Standards

Aligned to the frameworks that matter

Our testing follows the methodologies that set the global standard for application security.
