PER-382 Malware Prevention, Discovery, and Recovery - Jul 2026 UAA/CJI

Full Description: The MPDR course stresses a proactive approach to preventing malware infections when possible, and how to efficiently and effectively respond to infections when they occur. Solutions and methods taught are non-vendor-specific and do not require participants to have costly specialized software when trying to implement class lessons at their own agencies. MPDR stresses proper malware preventative methods and, given the current state of malware infections, assumes that preventative measures will fall short. Accordingly, MPDR focuses on discovery, analysis, and recovery from malware infections.

Course Objectives
The goal of MPDR is to provide technical personnel with the hands-on expertise necessary to prevent, discover, recognize, and recover from modern malware. Malware is a fundamental ingredient of a large number of computer network breaches and data theft incidents. MPDR is a four-day course that will expose participants to analysis of malicious software used by cyber-criminals and cyber-terrorists. After an introduction to modern malware, participants will learn how to prevent a malware outbreak, discover and identify malware through active network traffic analysis, prepare for dynamic analysis of malware samples of various types and intent, and how to isolate, remediate, and recover from a malware outbreak. Finally, the course will conclude a review of dynamic malware analysis, and a look at emerging trends in the use of malicious software in network intrusions and data theft.
