Threat Intelligence & Threat Hunting Course

What Is the Threat Intelligence & Threat Hunting Course?

Automated tools catch known threats, but determined attackers blend into normal activity. Threat hunters assume compromise and test that assumption with data: they form a hypothesis such as “an attacker may be using scheduled tasks for persistence”, search endpoint and network telemetry for evidence, and then turn successful hunts into permanent detections.

Cyber threat intelligence (CTI) supports hunting by describing adversaries, tools and behaviours. You will learn to evaluate sources, track campaigns affecting India and the region, map them to ATT&CK and produce intelligence that is actionable instead of just interesting.

The course follows the SOC Analyst Course and works well alongside the Malware Analysis Course and Digital Forensics Course.

Threat Intelligence & Threat Hunting Course at a Glance

Who Should Join This Course?

• SOC analysts with 6-12 months of experience.

Threat Intelligence & Threat Hunting Course Syllabus – Module by Module

The curriculum below is the practical sequence we follow in class. Each module ends in a lab so you can prove to yourself, and later to an interviewer, that you can perform the task rather than just describe it.

Module 1: Adversary Behaviour and MITRE ATT&CK

Learn to think in techniques and tactics.

• ATT&CK matrix, groups and software
• Kill chain vs ATT&CK
• Mapping incidents to techniques

Hands-on lab: Map a recorded intrusion to ATT&CK and highlight detection gaps.

Module 2: Hunting Methodology

A repeatable process.

• Hypothesis-driven vs intel-driven hunts
• Data sources and visibility gaps
• Baselining normal behaviour

Hands-on lab: Write five hunt hypotheses with data requirements.

Module 3: Endpoint and Network Hunting

Practical queries.

• Sysmon and EDR telemetry hunting
• PowerShell, WMI, scheduled task abuse
• DNS, beaconing and lateral movement hunts

Hands-on lab: Find persistence and C2 beaconing in a prepared dataset.

Module 4: Cyber Threat Intelligence

Collect, analyse and share.

• Intelligence lifecycle and types
• OSINT sources, MISP, OpenCTI
• IOC vs TTP; confidence and bias
• Writing intelligence reports

Hands-on lab: Produce a short threat report on a ransomware group.

Module 5: Detection Engineering

Make hunts permanent.

• Sigma rules and conversion to SIEM queries
• YARA for files and memory
• Testing with Atomic Red Team
• Measuring coverage

Hands-on lab: Create and test detections for ten ATT&CK techniques.

Tools and Technologies You Will Practise

Tool names on a syllabus mean little unless you have actually used them under time pressure. In this course you work with the following, mostly open-source or free-tier, tools so that you can keep practising at home after the batch ends:

• Splunk
• Elastic
• Sysmon
• Velociraptor
• MISP
• OpenCTI
• Sigma
• YARA
• Atomic Red Team
• Jupyter notebooks

Projects and Capstone Work

Recruiters and clients trust evidence. These are the projects you complete and can document in a portfolio or GitHub repository:

• Hunt playbook: documented hypotheses, queries and findings.
• Detection pack: Sigma rules validated with Atomic Red Team.
• Threat report: actor profile with ATT&CK mapping.

Why Learn Threat Intelligence & Threat Hunting Course in 2026?

Mature SOCs are moving from alert-handling to proactive detection, creating demand for analysts who can hunt and engineer detections. These roles typically command higher pay than first-level monitoring.

Threat intelligence is also in demand in banks, telecom and critical infrastructure, where understanding adversaries guides defensive investment.

• After Adversary Behaviour and MITRE ATT&CK you can: map a recorded intrusion to ATT&CK and highlight detection gaps.
• After Hunting Methodology you can: write five hunt hypotheses with data requirements.
• After Endpoint and Network Hunting you can: find persistence and C2 beaconing in a prepared dataset.
• After Cyber Threat Intelligence you can: produce a short threat report on a ransomware group.
• After Detection Engineering you can: create and test detections for ten ATT&CK techniques.

Checklist: Are You Ready to Join?

• Prerequisites: sOC or incident response basics; the SOC course is recommended.
• A laptop with 8 GB RAM (16 GB recommended for virtual machine labs) and stable internet.
• About 6 hours per week for live classes, labs and practice.
• An ethical mindset: all techniques are practised only in authorised lab environments.
• Curiosity about how systems fail, and patience to debug when a lab does not work the first time.

If you meet most of these, you are ready; if not, the free demo will tell you which foundation course to take first.

Career Growth Path After This Course

A first role is rarely the destination. Learners who complete the Threat Intelligence & Threat Hunting Course typically begin as threat Hunter or similar and progress towards detection Engineer and detection Engineer roles over the following years. Growth depends less on the number of certificates and more on documented work: lab write-ups, a GitHub or blog portfolio, contributions to capture-the-flag teams and clear communication during interviews. Re-skilling every year is part of the profession, so we also share a post-course learning plan and recommend the next logical courses.

How the Online Threat Intelligence & Threat Hunting Course Training Works

Every class is delivered live by a working trainer over video, so you can ask questions the moment they come up, share your screen when a lab breaks and get an answer on the spot. Sessions are recorded and shared with the batch for revision, which matters if you are a working professional who occasionally misses a class. Lab access is provided on a hosted practice environment, so you do not need an expensive laptop; a basic machine with 8 GB RAM and a stable internet connection is enough for most exercises, and we guide you through the virtual machine setup in the very first week.

The expected duration for this program is About 2.5 months, and the pace is designed for people who are studying or working at the same time. Each week combines concept sessions, guided labs, an assignment and a doubt-clearing session. In the final weeks you complete a capstone exercise and go through resume, LinkedIn and mock-interview preparation so that your skills are visible to recruiters.
