University course on malware analysis

F-Secure started a “Malware Analysis and Antivirus Technologies” course at the Helsinki University of Technology. Lectures are held by senior analysts and researchers from the F-Secure Security Labs and cover a range of topics from reverse engineering to decrypting malware to designing scanning engines.

The commencement lecture of the course was held last week and collected an audience of around 150 people. The course itself is designed for 40 students, but as of today it is completely booked.
