What is the Operationally-Sound Threat Intelligence course about?

Regulatory expectations are evolving faster than implementation practices. Compliance officers are asked to 'be proactive' but are given no clear process for incorporating threat intelligence into audits, reporting, or control design. This gap leads to misaligned priorities, duplicated efforts, and controls that don’t reflect actual threat landscapes.
