Latest student testimonial:
“With my extensive experience working in the Department of Defense on active duty and federal contractor, this training provided industry professionals with a greater perspective for intelligence analysis. The training taught state of the art concepts and applied them to real world scenarios establishing a solid understanding on utilizing these intelligence tradecrafts to effectively predict and prevent cyber actors from exploiting their organizations. Individuals new to the cyber intelligence field or professionals who want to fine tune their skills in the intelligence field should strongly consider this training for any intelligence analyst or security professional.”

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 six 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.

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

This course combines lecture, research, and hands-on team assignments. Students are best served using a PC but a MAC will do (a virtual machine running windows on the Mac is best if you only have a Mac).

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 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. You will leave this course with the tools, methods, and understanding necessary to enhance your intelligence program.

“The Cyber Intelligence Training delivered and created by Jeff Bardin will add rapid returns to both Cyber Intel Analysts, and your Security Operations.  This very thorough class adequately prepares the student for your Cyber Intelligence function.  This class starts with the history of intelligence as a tradecraft and the evolution to the digital corporate world.   Along the way, each student receives quality instruction and hands-on experience with today’s OSINT tools.  This is necessary for anyone new to Cyber Intelligence and complimentary to any Security Operations within your enterprise. This class provides the student with the resources and fundamentals needed to establish cyber intelligence as a force as both a proactive offensive step and a counter intelligence-contributing arm of your larger team.”

“The class was very detail orientated with a strong focus on the work of Cyber threats and how to better secure your assets against potential attacks.  For most scenarios, we went through he had an open source tool, or the link to a paid version, to monitor or prevent the attacks from occurring.  He was able to answer each and every question asked with specific details, and then some.  I would sign up again right away for any other classes offered by Jeff.”

“Fantastic class that gets to the foundational aspects of traditional tradecraft. We studied hard examining recent attack campaigns. The analysis training prepared me forreal world efforts. Have to say this is one of the best classes I have ever taken having taken many from SANS.  SANS does not compare. They are more of a class mill today.  The Treadstone 71 course material is unique, focused, and timely.”

“The Cyber Intelligence training offered by Treadstone71 is definitely an outstanding course and I recommend it for any organization looking to implement an intelligence capability. Jeff Bardin is extremely knowledgeable in the intelligence tradecraft and applies it to the cyber realm in a way that is understandable, exciting to learn and makes it easy to achieve “quick wins” in the organization after completing his class.  Jeff provided the class with a multitude of tools, templates, and documents that can immediately be used by any organization focused on intelligence collection and analysis. Jeff arrived well prepared to teach the course and one of the most impressive aspects of the class was that he presented the material in a way that displayed his personal knowledge and experience in the field rather than relying solely on book material.  We intend to continue leveraging Jeff’s services as we mature our cyber intelligence capability and highly recommend Treadstone71’s services to any organization.”

“This is one of the best, if not the best, Cyber Threat Intelligence training course I’ve attended.”

“This course was excellent. I was concerned coming into it that I would already know all the course material (I have been doing this sort of work for 15 years, specifically the type of work this course covered). As it turns out, it was a good reminder of what I should be doing to improve structure and rigor, and provided good tools, some of which I had not seen before. If I was new to this field or looking for a good insight into how Intelligence should work (i.e.: most of the rest of the class), I believe this would have provided even more value. I have already recommended it to a couple of my former colleagues in this line of business and would happily recommend it for future use by ########.”
