Course Overview

Strategic Threat Intelligence Analysis and Reporting is essential for organizations seeking to understand cyber threats, assess adversary activity, and support informed security and risk decisions. Threat intelligence professionals use structured analysis, threat modeling, attribution, and reporting techniques to transform complex threat data into actionable intelligence. This course begins with the foundations of threat intelligence, including threat actor landscapes, threat modeling, intelligence collection, infrastructure analysis, malware and campaign correlation, attribution, and data validation. It then covers strategic analysis techniques such as Analysis of Competing Hypotheses, red teaming, scenario modeling, attribution frameworks, and NIST 800-30 or STRIDE threat modeling. The course also explores threat research, structured analytic techniques, graph analytics, intelligence enrichment, strategic reporting, stakeholder communication, and communicating uncertainty and confidence. You will develop practical skills to analyze threats, assess adversary activity, build threat models, correlate intelligence, and communicate findings effectively to stakeholders.

What You Will Learn

  • Foundations of Strategic Threat Intelligence: Becoming an expert in tactical, operational and strategic threat intelligence, the threat actor landscape, threat modeling frameworks and legal, ethical and policy considerations for your enterprise.
  • Advanced Threat Intelligence Research Techniques: Mastering intelligence collection methodologies and sources, threat infrastructure analysis, malware and campaign correlation and data enrichment and validation.
  • Strategic Analysis and Intelligence Production: Applying structured analytical methodologies like risk assessments, red-teaming, and ACH. Master attribution and profiling using known adversary techniques, tactics and procedures and evidence correlation, and use of geopolitical and regional intelligence. Discover threat intelligence platforms (Recorded Future, ThreatConnect), translate your findings into strategic language, and provide context for executive and board-level stakeholders with data visualization best practices.
  • Reporting and Communication of Intelligence: Gaining the skills to report threat in your enterprise. Learn strategic reporting formats such as threat assessments, whitepapers, and executive summaries using effective communication techniques appropriate to your target audience in your industry vertical. Storytelling with data and visual aids: charts, timelines, graphs, heatmaps and communicating uncertainty and confidence clearly.
