Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
• Understand the concept of Cyber Threat Intelligence (definition, objectives and specific vocabulary)
• Understand and develop skills in tactical, operational, and strategic-level threat intelligence
• Understand and use CTI specific models
• Generate threat intelligence to detect, respond to, and defeat focused and targeted threats
• Learn the different sources to collect adversary data and how to exploit
• Validate information received externally to minimize the costs of bad intelligence
• Develop analysis skills to better comprehend, synthesize, and leverage complex scenarios
• Identify and create intelligence requirements through practices such as threat modeling
4. METHODOLOGY
The training will be carried out online. It will include presentations by instructors and explanations on the exercises. The training will be conducted online by an instructor through zoom sessions.

<br><span style="color:rgb(35,35,51);font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;white-space:pre-wrap">Course Outline
Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and Operational Technology (OT) run the world around us. Power plants, offshore oil rigs, trains, transportation systems, and manufacturing plants are just a few examples of the critical infrastructure that society depends on every single day. Because each OT/ICS environment is unique, they all require highly specialized security measures.
Protecting this critical infrastructure has never been more important. As the frequency and volume of cyberattacks continue to grow, state adversaries are no longer the only ones targeting these specialized systems. Today’s threats also include ransomware groups, hacktivists, and cyber mercenaries.
While OT/ICS cybersecurity can seem complicated and even daunting at first, it does not have to be! This webinar is designed to demystify the field, helping you clearly understand the fundamentals of how these environments operate and how to effectively secure specialized networks.
Who Should Attend?
This course is perfect for anyone wanting to learn more about OT/ICS environments and how to secure their networks, including:
OT/ICS Engineers and automation professionals
Cybersecurity Professionals looking to expand into operational tech
IT Professionals managing blended environments
About the Instructor
Mike Holcomb is an independent consultant focused on OT/ICS cybersecurity, an educational content creator, and an international speaker. Before supporting clients full-time through UtilSec, he served as a Fellow of Cybersecurity and the OT/ICS Cybersecurity Global Lead for one of the world’s largest engineering and construction companies. He gained a unique opportunity to design and implement security for some of the world's most massive OT/ICS environments - ranging from power plants to manufacturing & refineries</span></div><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><font color="#232333" face="Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px"><br></span></font>
