Degree-wise, I'd recommend Computer Science with a strong grounding in code development - the average software engineering classes, with extra effort in lower level languages that touch the system more intimately (C,C++, assembly) and compiler theory. As an add on - ways of breaking through higher level web based technologies is also becoming a trend - so ...

You need experience in a variety of languages, including C/C++ and Assembly basics, for sure (let's assume that knowledge is prerequisite and that you're already planning on studying it), but the most important thing is to read a TON of other people's code, both benign and malicious. You should be reading code daily, finding new approaches to solving ...

For studying malware, you will be doing a lot of reverse engineering to understand what it does as well as a lot of analyzing systems for weaknesses to try to predict which ways malware development might go.
A Computer Science degree will be critical and you will want to focus on decompiling and low level development (assembly and C/C++). Understanding ...

Malware analysis is one of the IT fields in which you don't need a previous job for show your experience. You can investigate about current malware and show your research to the world using the appropriate mean.
It is like penetration test for example. If you are able to find vulnerabilities on recognized sites and get your CVE number, when applying for a ...
