This course provides an essential introduction to threat intelligence, helping participants understand the evolving cyber threat landscape. You’ll explore the types of threat actors and the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) they employ in their cyber campaigns. 

The workshop will also feature practical modules on using open-source tools commonly utilized by cyber researchers in investigations.

Why you should attend

In a world of rapidly changing cyber threats, being able to identify and understand the actors behind complex campaigns is invaluable. Whether you’re working in a blue team (defensive) or red team (offensive) environment, having solid threat intelligence skills will greatly enhance your ability to defend or attack more strategically. 

This course will arm you with the knowledge and practical tools needed to improve your investigations and security posture.

What you will learn

The course will be structured in three parts:

1. Theoretical concepts 

• Understand the fundamentals of threat intelligence, including the various types of cyber threats and the profiles of different threat actors.
• Learn how threat actors operate and how threat intelligence can be applied effectively.
• Discover how Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) can be integrated into cyber investigations and where to find valuable information for your research.

2. Practical module with open source tools:

• Explore a range of open-source tools used in threat intelligence to gather and analyze critical data.
• Hands-on training with tools designed for OSINT, giving you a chance to practice collecting and interpreting information relevant to real-world investigations.
• Get step-by-step guidance on how to use these tools efficiently and ethically in various investigative scenarios.

3. Case studies

• Examine real-world case studies to see how threat intelligence has been used successfully to identify and counteract cyber threats.
• Discuss and analyze these cases, drawing insights into the methodologies used and lessons learned.
