Basics of Cyber Threat Intelligence
By External Provider
About this course
In today’s rapidly evolving threat landscape, cyberattacks like ransomware, phishing, and data breaches demand more than reactive defense. This course introduces the fundamentals of Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI), empowering learners to anticipate threats, analyze adversary behavior, and produce actionable insights that inform security strategy. Grounded in real-world cases and current threat reports, the course draws on frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK and integrates key technologies—SIEM, SOAR, EDR/XDR, Threat Intelligence Platforms, and Attack Surface Management. You’ll learn how CTI fits into the broader cybersecurity ecosystem and how intelligence is operationalized by modern security teams. Designed for beginners and security professionals alike, the curriculum builds foundational CTI skills before advancing to more complex analysis. Through practical exercises and hands-on tools, you’ll move beyond theory to map intelligence lifecycles, interpret threat data, and strengthen enterprise defense with intelligence-led security practices.
