# Threat Intelligence Foundations

> Learn cyber threat intelligence fundamentals through mentor-led sessions and practical scenarios. This course focuses on intelligence collection, analysis, reporting, and mapping threats to frameworks.

## Overview

Cyber threat intelligence helps organisations understand adversaries, anticipate risks, and strengthen security defences. Security teams collect, analyse, and share intelligence to support proactive threat detection and response.

This mentor-led programme introduces the fundamentals of cyber threat intelligence aligned with the MITRE ATT&CK Framework. Learners explore structured intelligence collection, analytical methods, and ways to translate threat data into actionable insights.

Through practical scenarios and guided exercises, learners practise analysing threat information, mapping attacker behaviour to frameworks, and producing intelligence reports that support security operations. By the end of the programme, participants will understand how threat intelligence supports detection, defence, and response strategies.
