Latest student testimonial: 

"With my extensive experience working in the Department of Defense on active duty and federal contractor, this training provided industry professionals with a greater perspective for intelligence analysis. The training taught state of the art concepts and applied them to real-world scenarios establishing a solid understanding of using these intelligence tradecrafts to effectively predict and prevent cyber actors from exploiting their organizations.

Debunking Myths of Threat Intelligence – Unfiltered Q&A with the Specialists

Cyber Threat Intelligence has been at the heart of the security architecture for a decade, and over the past five years, the concept — as evidence-based knowledge, from context to mechanism, regarding threats and threat actors — and its applicability, have elicited the publication of thousands of papers and articles, with dozens, if not hundreds, of companies launching platforms and services that define security problems, analyze threats, and potentially solve them.

With that, we have also seen the emergence of threat intelligence feeds, threat intelligence platforms, investigative platforms, orchestration and automation platforms, and others. We’ve also seen the rise of buzzwords, the likes of machine learning, artificial intelligence, plug-n-play, deep and dark web, and dozens of others that are meant to grab the attention and be illustrated as, perhaps, a magic wand to solving persistent problems.

So, let’s dissect these issues and explore these topics with Jeff Bardin, a highly recognized threat intelligence specialist, whose many years of work in the public and private sectors exponentially added to many organizations’ cyber wellbeing and cyber vigilance. Jeff brings a pragmatic approach to security and threat intelligence, away from the buzzwords and away from the fluff talk.

This course presents the student with foundational concepts and processes in the discipline of cyber counterintelligence with a focus on cyber counterintelligence missions, defensive counterintelligence, offensive counterintelligence, and counterespionage as these realms apply to traditional tradecraft, and how they are or will evolve into the cyber domain. The course includes a very different approach to counterintelligence using models exhibited online over the past few years to steer the conversation to the desired outcome.
