The purpose of analysis is to produce intelligence that decreases uncertainty in decision making and therefore reduces risk. This course introduces the information analysis process and how an organization can use it to identify, define and mitigate cybersecurity threats. The intent is to provide participants with a general understanding of the tools and processes needed for an analysis team to create cybersecurity information and intelligence within their organization.
This course establishes a framework for an analytical process, including establishing information and intelligence requirements as well as collecting, processing, analyzing and exploiting relevant data to generate products that provide the organization with cybersecurity situational awareness.
