Topic 7.3 of Analyst Practice and Reporting

Writing the Malware Analysis Report

The analyst report is the final deliverable: it tells defenders what to block, what to hunt for, and what the threat means in operational terms. This topic covers the standard report structure, the audience separation between executive and technical sections, and common reporting failures.

~30 min total·4 quadrants of structured content

By the end of this topic, you will

  • Produce a complete malware analysis report following the eight-section industry template
  • Write an executive summary that conveys operational impact without technical jargon
  • Structure technical analysis sections for reproducibility by another analyst
  • Avoid common reporting failures: speculation as fact, missing IOC provenance, no ATT&CK mapping
