igmGuru's GREM Certification Training builds real-world malware reverse-engineering skills through hands-on static, dynamic, and code analysis labs, preparing security professionals for the GIAC GREM exam and modern DFIR roles across industries.
✅ Level: Intermediate to Advanced ✅ 30-Hour Instructor-Led Training ✅ 100% Practical Malware Analysis & Reverse Engineering Labs ✅ GIAC GREM Exam-Aligned Curriculum ✅ Hands-on Static, Dynamic & Code-Level Analysis Labs ✅ Experienced Malware Analysis & DFIR Trainers
The GREM Certification course program by igmGuru is built for professionals who want to master malware analysis and reverse engineering. Mapped to the SANS GREM course objectives, it covers static, dynamic, and code-level analysis of Windows malware, malicious documents, packed executables, and self-defending malware. Through live instructor-led sessions and lab-driven practice, learners gain the practical skills needed to approach the GIAC Reverse Engineering Malware GREM exam and advance their cybersecurity careers.
GIAC does not mandate a formal prerequisite for the GREM exam itself, but candidates get the most value from this training when they already carry:
Malware volumes and evasion techniques keep advancing, and organizations increasingly need analysts who can go beyond automated sandbox verdicts to explain exactly what a specimen does. The GREM credential exists precisely for that gap, it's the certification GIAC built to validate hands-on reverse-engineering ability rather than theoretical knowledge alone.
By the end of this training, you will be able to:
This training walks through the full malware analysis lifecycle, module by module:
This program fits professionals who touch malicious code as part of their job, or want to:
You'll leave this training able to demonstrate:
A GREM-aligned skill set opens doors into specialized, harder-to-automate cybersecurity roles, including:

GIAC Reverse Engineering Malware (GREM) Credential
Note: GIAC periodically updates certification specifications and pricing. Confirm current figures on giac.org before publishing this page, as fees and exam formats are reviewed and revised by GIAC over time.
GREM stands for GIAC Reverse Engineering Malware, a GIAC credential that validates a practitioner's ability to analyze and reverse-engineer malicious software targeting Windows systems and browsers.
GREM is a GIAC certification; SANS GREM is common shorthand people use because the credential is closely associated with the SANS FOR610 course. GIAC administers and scores the exam; SANS provides the affiliated training.
A standalone GIAC GREM exam attempt is priced at $999 USD (plus applicable local taxes). Costs can differ if the exam is purchased bundled with SANS training- check GIAC's current pricing page for the latest figures.
No formal programming background is required, but a basic grasp of variables, loops, and functions makes the assembly-level material considerably easier to follow.
The exam is a single proctored attempt: 66 questions to be completed within 3 hours, with a minimum passing score of 73%.
Yes, because it tests applied reverse-engineering skill rather than theory alone, employers in DFIR, threat intelligence, and SOC teams tend to view it as strong evidence of hands-on capability.
The program runs 40 hours of live, instructor-led training, combined with hands-on labs mapped to the GIAC GREM exam objectives.
