In addition to the cyber intelligence tradecraft, Treadstone 71 is partnering with Stellar Solutions (www.stellarsolutions.com) to provide a table top exercise based upon one of the case studies delivered during the course. Former Air Force Major Generals Bio–Larry Wells and Bio–Punch_Moulton  will be on hand to drive this exercise. 

Tentative Dates (Approximate since the course will be 6 days) and Locations so far:

Denver October 16-22

Students who successfully complete the course will be certified as Cyber Intelligence Tradecraft Professional. 55-60 CPEs awarded for the course. This course is highly specialized following intelligence community tradecraft. You won’t get this at SANS although emulated. If you want tradecraft that lays the foundation for a solid program, education that creates a lasting impact, then this is the course for you. This course started six years ago at Utica College as part of their Master’s program.

CyberIntelTradecraftCertification – SV

Course books and manuals will be provided to students upon accepted enrollment. This course follows traditional intelligence community tradecraft. Treadstone 71 has been teaching cyber intelligence courses in various forms for 5 years. From academic settings and corporate environments to government facilities. Our customers include some of the largest firms in the world many of whom are part of critical infrastructures recognizing the need to learn how to create intelligence (www.treadstone71.com). We support our training with onsite consulting services that teach you how to create a sustainable program aligned to stakeholders. Ultimately, we teach you what most vendors cannot or will not – how to fish for yourself.

Students are evaluated based upon deliverables of each section and the final written project.

Course Fee, Course Lab and Materials Fee (includes books, templates, structured techniques application, etc.).

$5990.00 required 15 days prior to course start. Discounts available

This course combines lecture, research, and hands-on team assignments. Students need to bring a laptop that does not have corporate controls (tablets will not suffice).

How is this course different from the current Treadstone 71 Cyber Intelligence course?

This course provides definitive sections along the intelligence lifecycle that are in-depth. Students are required to demonstrate understanding and use of collection methods using defined targets and target case studies, understanding and applying analytic techniques, when and how to use analytic techniques and analytic types. Students are presented several case studies for analysis, required to use tradecraft methods, and provide written reports in standard analytic format. Students are also required to orally present their deliverables to the class.
