Malware analysis
At MediShield, our Post-Incident Malware Analysis service provides a structured, expert-led approach to managing and recovering from cybersecurity incidents. This ensures your organisation gains an independent review which provides thorough understanding of impact and strengthens resilience against future attacks.
We operate discreetly with your internal teams to conduct a comprehensive investigation across your network and cloud environments providing you with actionable intelligence. We identify how the compromise occurred, what systems and data were affected, and whether any persistence mechanisms or secondary threats remain.
Following globally recognised frameworks such as NIST, ISO 27035, and MITRE ATT&CK, MediShield delivers evidence-based, defensible findings suitable for regulatory, legal, and internal review. This ensures your response meets the highest standards of accountability and compliance.
Engaging an independent incident response team provides objective insight free from internal bias, validates internal findings, and demonstrates due diligence to regulators, partners, and insurers. Independent review also helps uncover overlooked risks, ensures transparent communication, and strengthens organisational learning.
By leveraging MediShield’s Post-Incident Response service, your organisation gains confidence that every aspect of the incident has been addressed.
The Benefits of a malware analysis
Precise Threat Identification
Malware analysis determines the exact type of malware (ransomware, trojan, spyware, rootkit, etc.) and its behaviour patterns. This allows you to understand whether it is targeting your sensitive patient data, financial information, or operational technology.
Understanding Infection Vectors
Our thorough analysis will reveal how malware entered the environment. This will enable you to close specific security gaps in your organisation be it technical or process and prevent future infections.
Containment
By understanding malware’s propagation methods and network behaviour MediShield’s security experts can block its spread across endpoints, cloud environments, or IoMT devices. This prevents broader system compromise and operational disruption.
Assessment of Data infiltration
Determine whether your sensitive data including EHR records, lab results, or financial data has been accessed, copied, or transmitted externally. This enables rapid containment and regulatory compliance reporting.
Targeted Remediation
Instead of generic antivirus clean-up, malware analysis provides tailored remediation steps: which files to quarantine, which processes to terminate, and which systems require re-imaging or patching.
Forensic Evidence
The process produces detailed, defensible documentation of the malware’s actions, affected systems, and the scope of compromise. This supports HIPAA, GDPR, or other regulatory reporting, as well as internal or legal investigations.
Do I need a malware Analysis?
If your organisation has previously faced an incident Malware Analysis is essential.
A Malware Analysis is critical if you want to:
Identify all affected systems, including endpoints, servers, medical devices, and cloud environments and ensure no secondary threats.
Understand whether sensitive patient data, operational data, or financial information has been accessed, altered, or exfiltrated.
Gather forensic evidence for regulatory compliance, internal audits, or legal investigations.
After a malware incident, a comprehensive Post-Incident Malware Analysis ensures your organisation can accurately assess the impact, eradicate remaining threats, strengthen defences, and restore operations with confidence.
What can i expect from mediShield malware Analysis?
| Phase | Description |
|---|---|
| Assessment Preparation and Data Collection | MediShield experts define the scope and gather background information, including network diagrams, asset inventories, and recent security events. Endpoint monitoring tools like Velociraptor are deployed, and logs from servers, endpoints, and medical devices are collected to create a comprehensive view of your environment, enabling precise detection of suspicious or malicious activity. |
| Malware Detection and Forensic Analysis | Our team conducts in-depth analysis to identify malware types, Indicators of Compromise (IoCs), unauthorised access, and malicious behaviour. Endpoint and network data are examined for abnormal patterns, persistence mechanisms, and lateral movement. Advanced threat hunting uncovers hidden or previously undetected malware, while forensic investigation determines root cause, affected systems, and overall impact. |
| Reporting and Continuous Improvement | Findings, impacts, and actionable recommendations are delivered in clear, concise reports. Executive summaries are provided for leadership, while detailed technical reports guide IT and compliance teams. Recommendations also inform long-term improvements to policies, processes, and security posture. |
