Why this course

Your SOC is drowning in raw feeds, daily email alerts, and scattered PDFs. Analysts spend hours stitching together indicator lists, while the incident response lead still asks for a single source of truth before the next board review. The current process relies on ad-hoc spreadsheets, manual enrichment, and inconsistent tagging, causing missed windows and duplicated effort.

When the quarterly audit asks for evidence of proactive threat hunting, you scramble to locate the original reports, re-create timelines, and justify budget spend. Each missed or delayed intel piece risks a breach, erodes stakeholder confidence, and threatens your career progression as the organization expects faster, more reliable threat insights.

What you walk away with

Produce a single, structured threat intel dossier that can be handed to responders in minutes.
Automate enrichment of indicators using open-source and commercial sources with repeatable scripts.
Create a reusable intel workflow that aligns with your SOC’s incident response playbooks.
Generate a quarterly evidence pack that satisfies audit reviewers without last-minute scrambling.
Communicate threat findings to executives with a one-page impact summary that drives budget decisions.

The 12 modules

Module 1. Feed Consolidation Blueprint

78 % of analysts report that unmerged feeds double investigation time. In the morning when you pull the latest STIX feeds, the volume is overwhelming. This module walks through a step-by-step consolidation process that merges raw streams into a single ingest pipeline. By the end you will have a unified feed catalog saved as a JSON manifest. Output: Consolidated feed manifest ready for immediate use.

Module 2. Indicator Enrichment Engine

During the daily triage you ask yourself, “How do I turn a raw IP address into actionable context?” The answer lies in an automated enrichment engine that queries reputation, WHOIS, and malware databases. This section builds a reusable script that pulls the data, normalizes fields, and writes a formatted enrichment sheet. What you ship from this module: Enriched indicator spreadsheet populated with risk scores.

Module 3. Threat Narrative Construction

By module end a threat narrative document sits in your drive, weaving enriched indicators into a coherent story. You will learn to map tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) to a concise narrative that aligns with your SOC’s playbooks. The scenario focuses on a ransomware campaign that surfaces during a weekly vulnerability scan. The deliverable is a narrative brief that can be presented to the incident lead within minutes.

Module 4. Executive Summary Deck

The deliverable is a polished executive deck that senior leaders can read in under two minutes.

Module 5. Evidence Pack Assembly

When auditors request proof of proactive intel, they look for a complete evidence pack. This module guides you through assembling raw feeds, enrichment logs, narrative drafts, and approval signatures into a single compressed package. By the end you will have an audit-ready evidence folder that lives in your secure drive. Output: Evidence pack folder prepared for audit submission.

Module 6. Automation Playbook Integration

Sitting at the end of this module: SOAR playbook snippet ready for deployment.

Module 7. Stakeholder Review Process

The deliverable is a stakeholder RACI matrix.

Module 8. Metric Dashboard Design

What you ship from this module: KPI dashboard ready for daily monitoring.

Module 9. Threat Intelligence Sharing Protocol

Output: Sanitized intel sharing package.

Module 10. Continuous Improvement Loop

The deliverable is a quarterly scorecard that visualizes improvement.

Module 11. Budget Justification Kit

Sitting at the end of this module: Budget justification kit.

Module 12. Course Wrap-Up and Next Steps

What you ship from this module: 90-day implementation roadmap.

Before and after

Before

You currently juggle multiple CSV files, email threads, and PDF reports, spending hours each week reconciling indicator data and chasing missing approvals. Evidence lives in personal drives, audit requests trigger frantic searches, and leadership receives fragmented updates that lack a single source of truth.

After

After the course you maintain a single, version-controlled feed manifest, generate complete intel dossiers in minutes, and deliver a ready-to-present evidence pack for every audit. Weekly stakeholder reviews run on a shared dashboard, and senior leadership receives concise executive briefs that drive budget and strategy decisions.

What happens if you do not address this

If you ignore this gap, the next quarterly audit will expose missing evidence, forcing senior leadership to allocate emergency budget for remediation. Your SOC will continue to miss early indicators, increasing breach likelihood and jeopardizing your promotion prospects.

Who it is for

A mid-level threat intelligence analyst who spends most of the week curating raw feeds, enriching indicators, and briefing the SOC lead. You operate under tight SLAs, attend daily triage stand-ups, and must deliver concise intel packets for both operational response and executive reporting.

Who this is NOT for. This is not for someone who needs a basic introduction to what threat intelligence is.

How it arrives

Within 24 hours of purchase your account in the learning environment is provisioned and the tailored implementation playbook is delivered alongside it. The playbook is hand-built around your specific situation, not LLM-generated boilerplate.

Time investment. 6 hours of focused work spread over a week, saving an estimated 40-60 hours of internal scaffolding effort.

Why $199 is the right number

A half-day consultant to map your intel workflow typically costs $2 K-$5 K, generic compliance courses run $800-$2 K, and building the same artefacts internally can consume 60+ hours. At $199 you get a complete, repeatable system that pays for itself in weeks.

FAQ

Do I need prior experience with STIX or TAXII?

Basic familiarity helps, but the course walks you through all required formats step by step.

Will the automation scripts work with my existing SOAR platform?

The scripts are platform-agnostic and include adapters for the most common SOAR solutions.

Can I reuse the templates for other threat categories?

Yes, the artefacts are designed to be generic and easily adapted to any threat vector.

What support is available after I finish the course?

You get access to a private community forum where peers and instructors answer follow-up questions.

30-day money-back guarantee. If after a week of working through the materials this is not what you needed, reply to the receipt email and a full refund is processed. No questions, no forms.
