CRISC 2023: Malware

Threat actors use social engineering and exploit vulnerabilities to achieve their goals. Performance and security baselines can facilitate threat detection.

In this course I will begin by covering threat actor types. I will then explain the relationship between baselines and threat detection. Next I will discuss indicators of malicious activity at the network host and application levels. I will define how social engineering is a major threat and demonstrate how to execute a social engineering attack. Lastly I will discuss common malware types explore malware techniques and analyze email messages.

This course can be used to prepare for the ISACA Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC) certification.
