How can understanding cyber threats before they strike help secure an organization? In this fully asynchronous course, students will explore key knowledge, skills, and competencies associated with the collection, analysis, and dissemination of cyber threat intelligence (CTI). You’ll delve into the methodologies for identifying threat actors, understanding their tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), and developing actionable intelligence to preemptively protect digital assets. Activities will include specialized readings, video tutorials from CTI experts, interactive threat analysis exercises, and discussion boards to collaboratively evaluate emerging threats and intelligence strategies. By the end of the course, you will be able to conduct comprehensive threat intelligence analysis, develop threat profiles, and create intelligence reports that inform and enhance an organization's security strategies. You will demonstrate your learning by completing a threat intelligence dossier, where you’ll analyze a specific cyber threat group, assess their potential impact on a chosen sector, and provide strategic recommendations for mitigating these threats.
