From 6 to 10 September 2021, the GLACY + project supported the participation of representatives of Sri Lanka to the INTERPOL Malware Analysis Training for Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, organized jointly with Trend Micro Inc., a strategic partner of INTERPOL.

The five-day intensive course was designed for cybercrime investigators to gain technical knowledge and skills on static and dynamic analysis of malware for the purpose of understanding the behavior of malware in cybercrime scenarios, and further collecting information or clues useful for attribution. In addition, the curricula featured hands-on exercise on most common malware file installation, ransomware, file-less infection, banking Trojans, and POS malware.

Due to the impact of COVID-19, the training was delivered online. Previous editions were held this year in March and July, covering countries from Europe and Africa. More sessions are envisaged to take place until the end of 2021.
