Understanding Malware through Security Products Research (Internship Project)
Singapore, Singapore
Centre for Strategic Infocomm Technologies
CSIT is a technical agency in the Ministry of Defence that harnesses cutting-edge digital technologies to meet Singapore’s security needs.
Duration: > 4 MonthsInternship Type: Undergraduate
The project aims to understand malware through the lens of cybersecurity products. Modern cybersecurity products have evolved to incorporate novel detection capabilities and anti-tampering features to stay relevant in today's cybersecurity landscape. Understanding these capabilities and features will allow malware analysts to gain insights into unique malware heuristics and anti-detection techniques used by modern malware.
The project requires the intern to research on cybersecurity products with the aim of understanding the products' novel detection capabilities as well as potential vulnerabilities in the products that could be exploited by malware authors. The research findings could then be developed to supplement malware analysis and identification of malware authors' use of anti-detection techniques.
