The Malware Families Catalog is a comprehensive, open-source database of 2,899 documented malware families, derived from the EMBER 2018 dataset and enriched with real-world threat intelligence. Our mission is to provide security researchers, incident responders, and IT professionals with a fast, accessible, and highly accurate reference for identifying and remediating cyber threats.
SystemHelpDesk MSP is a premier provider of managed IT and cybersecurity services. We believe that robust threat intelligence should be freely available to the community. When businesses face critical incidents, our elite incident response team is on standby to contain threats, eradicate malware, and restore operations securely.
Ricky Jordan is the Lead Cybersecurity Researcher at SystemHelpDesk and the principal curator of this catalog. With extensive experience in malware analysis, threat hunting, and infrastructure defense, Ricky bridges the gap between raw data analysis and practical, actionable security advice.
