You're drowning in alerts but still missing critical threats
The situation this course is for
Threat intelligence tools flood you with data, but without a clear process, it's noise. Teams waste time chasing false positives, miss key indicators, and fail to operationalize insights. The result? Reactive security, burnout, and gaps attackers exploit.
Who this is for
Security analysts, threat hunters, and compliance leads in mid-sized organizations who need to act on intelligence but lack time or structure
Who this is not for
Executives looking for board-level summaries or vendors reselling generic feeds
What you walk away with
- Build a repeatable threat intelligence lifecycle
- Reduce false positives by applying contextual filtering
- Map threats to MITRE ATT&CK with precision
- Automate indicator ingestion and alerting
- Produce actionable reports for technical and non-technical stakeholders
