Cyber Threat Intelligence

Facilitator: Ionuț Stoica - Lecturer / Trainer / Cybercrime Expert – Head of Cybercrime Academy, CEPOL

Cyber Threat Intelligence is a force multiplier for organizations looking to update their response and detection programs to deal with increasingly sophisticated advanced persistent threats; it provides valuable information — like who is attacking you, what their motivation and capabilities are and what indicators of compromise in your systems to look for.

Threat intelligence plays a crucial role in today's cybersecurity ecosystem and it is an important investment for an organization security posture as it provides multiple benefits:

• It allows for strong prevention by giving, in advance, information on adversaries.
• It allows you to identify and prevent cyber-attacks.
• It prepares an organisation for cyberattacks, on how to assess damages and recover from it.

Given strong technological interconnections, a successful cyber-attack on a major financial or commercial organization could quickly spread through the entire economic system causing widespread disruption and loss of confidence. 

The course will train you in the tactical, operational, and strategic level cyber threat intelligence knowledge and skills required to make security teams better, threat hunting more accurate, incident response more effective and organizations more aware of the evolving threat intelligence landscape.
