Identifying and interpreting threat intelligence is crucial to preventing and mitigating cyber attacks. In this course, you'll explore the various threat intelligence types and how they relate to an organization's threat landscape. You'll begin by examining the key characteristics and benefits of threat intelligence and how to use it before, during, and after an attack. You'll then name known cyber threat actors and common indicators of compromise. You'll characterize intelligence, data, and information, and the four categories of threat intelligence: strategic, tactical, operational, and technical. You'll outline the threat intelligence lifecycle and how machine learning and risk modeling relate to threat intelligence. Lastly, you'll recognize threat intelligence use cases and sources, and how to map the threat landscape and benefit from intrusion detection and analysis.
