Why become a individual partner?

Exposure to wide range of malware
- The Cert Graveyard sees a large range of malware: everything from Russian cybercrime to Nation State malware. Being a partner helps you get early in analyzing these files too. This can help you make new discoveries, develop skills, and get a wide range of exposure.
- We also see a wide range of tactics, requiring a broad range of investigative skill.
Contribute to a mission
- Partnering with The Cert Graveyard allows you to contribute to a mission that makes an impact.
- When code-signing certificates are reported, it helps vendors, browsers, and operating systems, flag and identify the malware—often disrupting active malware campaigns.
Get mentorship and guidance
- Our team is here to help you learn and grow. We can provide guidance on how to analyze files, how to report findings, and how to develop your skills.
- Mentorship and education is a big part of The Cert Graveyard: we are happy to help you develop and use your skills.
