GREM: GIAC Reverse Engineering Malware

GREM is an expert-level certification for malware analysts, teaching the skills needed to turn malicious software inside out. It covers the reverse engineering of Windows malware, malicious browser scripts, and weaponized document files using debuggers and disassemblers (like IDA Pro and Ghidra). Candidates must demonstrate the ability to bypass anti-analysis techniques used by malware authors and identify the Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) needed to defend the network. It is a critical certification for threat hunters and senior incident responders who need to understand exactly what a suspicious file does.
