Who this is for
Business and technology professionals in scaling organizations who influence or lead security, risk, compliance, or IT operations and want to implement mature, repeatable threat intelligence practices
Who this is not for
Individuals seeking certification prep, academic theory, or entry-level cybersecurity overviews
