ATT&CK Cyber Threat Intelligence

Training Description: ATT&CK Cyber Threat Intelligence

Course Overview

The ATT&CK Cyber Threat Intelligence training is designed to provide cybersecurity professionals with an in-depth understanding of how the MITRE ATT&CK™ framework can be used to enhance threat intelligence capabilities. By training on attacker techniques and tactics, you will learn to apply ATT&CK for threat analysis, detection, incident response, and the development of effective defense strategies. This course explores the various threat categories and how to integrate ATT&CK into your intelligence processes to anticipate, detect, and neutralize attacks.

Training Objectives

• Understand the fundamental principles of the MITRE ATT&CK framework and its application in cybersecurity.
• Learn how to use ATT&CK for the collection, analysis, and management of threat intelligence.
• Develop skills to identify and classify attacker behaviors through ATT&CK’s techniques and tactics.
• Apply ATT&CK to improve incident detection and responses to real-world cyber threats.
• Learn how to leverage ATT&CK to strengthen an organization’s cybersecurity posture and preparedness against attacks.
• Understand how ATT&CK can be integrated with other security tools and processes for comprehensive threat coverage.

Training Program

1. Introduction to MITRE ATT&CK
