Research Assistants

Description

The Computer Science Department at the National University of Singapore (NUS) seeks Research Assistants in the area of system security.

Project Overview

The project aims to create automated solutions for malware source attribution, as it has become increasingly challenging for human analysts to analyse malware and identify its evolving trend and developers. This will help malware analysts and security response teams to understand the similarities in malware used across cyber-attacks more efficiently, and identify the attacker quickly. This project is a collaboration between Kaspersky Lab SIngapore Pte Ltd, the Singapore laboratory of Russia-headquartered cybersecurity and anti-virus provider, Kaspersky Lab, and the National University of Singapore.

Job Requirement

Applicants should have relevant experience in related areas, such as in binary analysis, attack response, or learning techniques.
