Cyber Threat Intelligence
Description
Cyber threat intelligence can potentially be a force multiplier for organizations looking to update their cyber posture, specifically their response and detection programs to deal with increasingly sophisticated advanced persistent threats. Adversaries are constantly developing new tools, techniques, tactics and procedures to bypass security mechanisms successfully. Cyber threat intelligence empowers cyber defenders on countering those flexible and persistent threats with a good understanding of the attacker’s behaviour, motivation and playbook. During an attack, an organization needs a top-notch and cutting-edge threat hunting or incident response team armed with the threat intelligence necessary to understand how adversaries operate and to counter the threat. Cyber Threat Intelligence course will equip students with a brief understanding of various aspects of cyber threat intelligence – in the tactical, operational, and strategic level cyber threat intelligence skills and tradecraft required to make security teams better, threat hunting more accurate, incident response more effective, and organizations more aware of the evolving threat landscape.
