Z2A — Zero2Automated Advanced Malware Analysis Certification
Zero2Automated is widely regarded as the best-value advanced malware analysis course and certification available — practitioners on r/blueteamsec and malware.news consistently rate its content above GREM in practical depth and currency, at roughly 4% of the cost. Developed by Daniel Bunce and Vitali Kremez (0ffset Training Solutions), it covers advanced static analysis, unpacking and deobfuscation, C2 protocol reverse engineering, and automated malware analysis frameworks. Certification is included with the ~$390 lifetime course purchase (Black Friday discounts to ~$290 are routine). Not a standalone proctored exam — the cert validates course completion and practical assessment components. For self-funded malware analysts, Zero2Automated plus TCM Security PMAT/PMRP is the recommended stack before committing to GREM's $9,800+ investment.
