Threat Intelligence in Cybersecurity
Course Description
The ability to anticipate, detect, and respond to cyber threats is paramount in the rapidly evolving digital landscape. This course delves into Threat Intelligence, a crucial component of proactive cybersecurity. Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of what threat intelligence is, its sources, and its critical role in today’s cybersecurity strategies.
The course explores the different types of threat intelligence: Tactical, Operational, Strategic, and Technical. Drawing from diverse sources like Open Source Intelligence (OSINT), commercial feeds, and governmental reports, students will learn how to gather, analyse, and apply this intelligence effectively. They will be introduced to popular frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK and the Cyber Kill Chain, enhancing their ability to contextualise threats in real-world scenarios.
Participants will also familiarise themselves with Threat Intelligence Platforms and tools and the importance of Indicators of Compromise (IoCs) and Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) in threat hunting. Towards the end, the course emphasises building a robust Threat Intelligence program, addressing challenges, and exploring future trends in the domain.
Equipped with both theoretical knowledge and practical insights, graduates will be poised to elevate their cybersecurity measures, ensuring robust defence mechanisms for their organisations.
