Cutting edge new course from Treadstone 71.

The course is a hybridized intelligence and counterintelligence course geared towards executing cyberspace operations through structured methods. Students gain practical hands-on skills in cyber militias and foreign legions, space operations, weaponizing conspiracy theories, using disinformation to control narratives, jihadist online operations and locations, and cryptocurrency scams and cash-out schemes, non-inclusively. The course concludes with a program maturity review, competency models for analysts and collectors, and a maturity tracking model for goals and objectives based on the maturity assessment.
