Lab Simulations & Hands-On Learning.
Cyber Threat Intelligence Analysis (C|TIA) Lifecycle.
2. Collection: Gathering raw data from various internal and external sources such as threat feeds, security logs, and open-source intelligence (OSINT).
3. Analysis and Production: Processing the collected data into actionable intelligence through correlation, interpretation, and analysis.
4. Dissemination and Integration: Sharing the analyzed intelligence with relevant stakeholders and integrating it into the organization's security operations for proactive decision-making and response.
In Depth understanding of the 4 main types of Intelligent Threats.
1. Strategic Threat Intelligence Provides high-level insights into the broader threat landscape, trends, and potential impacts on the organization’s operations. Ex: Geopolitical events affecting cybersecurity, emerging technologies that may pose risks, regulatory changes.
2. Tactical Threat Intelligence Offers specific information on the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used by threat actors in cyberattacks. Ex: Phishing techniques, malware deployment methods,.. etc.
3. Operational Threat Intelligence Provides actionable information about specific attacks, such as details on threat actors’ capabilities, motivations, and intent. Ex: Indicators of compromise (IoCs), active campaigns by threat groups, malware signatures.
4. Technical Threat Intelligence Involves data on the technical aspects of threats, such as specific IP addresses, domain names, URLs, and file hashes that are used in attacks. Examples: Specific IoCs like malicious IP addresses, suspicious domain names, file hashes associated with malware.
