Includes a hand-built implementation playbook delivered alongside course access, generated for your specific situation.

Why this course

You spend hours each week stitching together open-source feeds, internal logs, and vendor reports, but the output is a pile of PDFs that never reach the incident response team. The process is manual, the data lives in shared drives, and senior management questions the value because alerts are either missed or duplicated. When a breach surfaces, you scramble to assemble evidence, and auditors flag the lack of a documented intel workflow as a critical gap.

Your current tooling - a mix of free dashboards, email threads, and ad-hoc spreadsheets - creates version-control nightmares and leaves gaps in coverage. The team is forced to repeat the same enrichment steps for every threat, draining capacity and causing fatigue. If the next ransomware wave hits, the cost of delayed detection and the personal reputation risk for the analyst team will skyrocket.

What you walk away with

Produce a weekly threat intel briefing that executives can act on within 24 hours.
Maintain a living indicator repository with automated enrichment and de-duplication.
Document a repeatable intel workflow that passes audit with zero major findings.
Reduce manual enrichment time by 60% using standardized playbooks.
Demonstrate measurable risk reduction to the board through a KPI dashboard.

Before and after

Before

Your intel workflow lives in a collection of PDFs, email threads, and a shared Excel file where indicators are manually copied, enriched, and lost during turnover. Evidence for audits is scattered, and senior leadership sees only raw data with no clear risk story, leading to repeated requests for better reporting.

After

All indicators are stored in a single repository that auto-updates, enriched with context and scored for impact. A weekly briefing is generated from a template, a live dashboard feeds leadership, and a complete audit pack is ready on demand. You now discuss risk trends confidently with the board.

What happens if you do not address this

If you ignore this, the next audit will flag your intel program as a critical deficiency, jeopardizing budget approvals. Your team will continue to lose hours each week to manual processing, and a major breach could expose you to leadership criticism and career setbacks.

Who it is for

A threat intelligence analyst who runs daily feed ingestion, enriches indicators, and produces briefings for the security operations center. They juggle multiple data sources, rely on spreadsheets for tracking, and need a repeatable process that aligns with leadership expectations without building a full SIEM from scratch.

Who this is NOT for. This is not for someone who needs a 101 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 work.

Why $199 is the right number

A half-day consultant would charge $2K-$5K for the same scoped work, a generic compliance course runs $800-$2K, and building the process yourself can consume 60+ hours. At $199 you get a complete, ready-to-use system that pays for itself within the first month.
