COURSE OVERVIEW
This 5-day Cyber Threat Intelligence Analysis Training course teaches network defenders to collect, analyze, and apply targeted cyber intelligence to defensive operations in order to proactively act on and adapt to sophisticated and dedicated attacks by cyber adversaries. As malicious software incorporates more advanced counter-detection techniques, the limited signature and heuristic analysis capabilities of anti-virus software and Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (IDS/IPS) become less and less effective. White-listing and sandboxing technologies have proven to mitigate many host-based attacks. Still, additional methodologies of analysis and attribution of known and unknown Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) actors are needed to positively identify and prioritize the most formidable threats to the network.
This Cyber Threat Intelligence Analysis Training course applies the Intelligence Cycle to the full-spectrum exercise of proactive network defense. It is intended as the core competency of Threat Intelligence operations and as the precursor to additional technical intelligence collection courses. It further provides students with the all-source methodology of employing cyber collection sources and disciplines in a cumulative effort to apply to network defensive postures. When properly used, this process fosters a cyber environment of preemptive action and provides network defenders and operators with an understanding of the tools, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) needed to generate the timely and relevant intelligence that is required to preemptively apply network fortifications before compromise and to respond to cyber events in an expeditious manner.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
COURSE OBJECTIVES
Upon completing this Cyber Threat Intelligence Analysis Training course, learners will be able to meet these objectives:
- Students will learn how to apply all-source cyber intelligence-informed operational methodologies, including proactive cyber analysis, to accurately identify risks from specific threats. This is delivered through method-driven instruction of Intelligence Analysis techniques taught by experienced Intelligence Community (IC) professionals. The instructors will teach the intelligence-driven operations cycle – data collection, exploitation, analysis, reporting, and dissemination – to develop the methods of identifying threats and assessing and prioritizing risk. Students will be introduced to cyber intelligence sourcing, risk management, and assessment, indicators of compromise, application, and assessment of adversarial profiles, and TTPs to proactively defend networks.
- The principle objective of this course is to equip network defenders, intelligence analysts, and other security operations personnel with a modern methodology for characterizing, investigating, attributing, and responding to advanced cyber threats in a collaborative, real-time environment. Students should expect to leave this course with proficiency in intelligence-driven network defense operations.
CUSTOMIZE IT
- We can adapt this Cyber Threat Intelligence Analysis Training course to your group’s background and work requirements at little to no added cost.
- If you are familiar with some aspects of this Cyber Threat Intelligence Analysis course, we can omit or shorten their discussion.
- We can adjust the emphasis placed on the various topics or build the Cyber Threat Intelligence Analysis around the mix of technologies of interest to you (including technologies other than those included in this outline).
- If your background is nontechnical, we can exclude the more technical topics, include the topics that may be of special interest to you (e.g., as a manager or policy-maker), and present the Cyber Threat Intelligence Analysis course in a manner understandable to lay audiences.
