Information is everywhere. With the proper training, the right information can be found and transformed into actionable intelligence and valuable insight to help companies and law enforcement detect and mitigate risks. In this course, and hands-on workshop, students will learn the tools and techniques used in the field of Open Source Intelligence (OSINT). With special emphasis on social media monitoring, the training is designed to enable security professionals and law enforcement to better discover and evaluate threats, and to conduct efficient and effective online investigations.
Today’s global threats by sophisticated actors, nation-states, organized crime and hacker groups, are highly complex. Many of these threats can be related to a variety of events that seem to have no correlation, yet are drivers and indicators of an imminent attack on your organization. Understanding the next attack, where it will hit and when, are intelligence questions that simply have no black and white answers. These complex problems, also called “wicked problems”, need advance thought processes, techniques and tools, they need “Sensemaking”.
With new expectations and responsibilities being placed on law enforcement and organizations, understanding the fundamentals of threat intelligence is critical to every situation. Using processes within the threat intelligence framework allows you to proactively defend your environment and understand adversarial strategy and potential targets. This knowledge will also assist in making decisions based on identifying real risks and prioritizing resources to address them. The first step in building a proactive security environment is creating a foundation for threat intelligence.
This course provides an in-depth look at Structured AnalyticTechniques (SATs) for intelligence analysis. Analysts face many obstacles in developing intelligence, some of which are introduced through human mindsets and biases. Mindsets and biases further complicate the analysis process and often impact an analyst's judgement. SATs are a series of analytic techniques that help reduce mindset related problems with analysis and provide for a structured and organized process for evaluating and analyzing intelligence. The results are more accurate analysis, a way for an analyst to validate evidence, assumptions and analytic leaps and show how an analyst came to a certain judgement.
Thinking processes play a key role in threat intelligence. Understanding how these processes impact the analysis can improve the effectiveness and outcome of the process. This course analyzes different thinking methods and teaches students how to apply these methods in intelligence analysis. Each thought process has pros and cons related to differing problem types and how problems, whether tame or wicked, are approached. Analysts will benefit by understanding which thought process is most effective for their style of thinking and how to best exploit each of the three methods as part of a problem-solving process.
Threat intelligence can be affected by a number of factors. It is essential to understand how thinking processes play a key role in the effectiveness of intelligence analysis. This course analyzes different thinking methods and teaches students how to apply those methods in intelligence analysis. Each thought process has pros and cons related to differing problem types an example being problems that are tame or wicked. Analysts must also understand which thought process is most effective for their style of thinking and how to best exploit each of the three methods as part of a problem-solving process.
Threat intelligence allows you to take proactive measures in defending your environment and understand adversarial focus and what it means to an organization. This course will give you an understanding of mindsets and biases that can lead to incorrect judgements in intelligence analysis.
