The Cyber Threat Intelligence and Incident Response Specialization equips learners with practical, job-ready skills to identify cyber threats, assess vulnerabilities, and respond effectively to security incidents across modern IT environments. Designed to reflect real-world security operations, this program combines threat intelligence, vulnerability management, and incident response into a complete defensive security lifecycle.
Across three in-depth courses, learners explore the evolving cyber threat landscape, attacker tactics and techniques, and intelligence frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK. They gain hands-on experience conducting vulnerability assessments using industry tools, validating findings, and designing structured remediation programs. The specialization also emphasizes incident response planning, detection, forensic analysis, containment, recovery, and post-incident resilience.
By the end of this specialization, learners will be able to operate confidently within security operations, vulnerability management, and incident response teams. The program prepares professionals to think like defenders, act with precision during incidents, and contribute meaningfully to strengthening organizational cyber resilience.
应用的学习项目
Learners will complete hands-on Kali Linux projects that simulate real-world cybersecurity scenarios across threat intelligence, vulnerability assessment, and incident response. Projects include mapping attacker tactics using MITRE ATT&CK, performing network and web vulnerability scans, validating remediation efforts, and building vulnerability dashboards. In the final capstone-style project, learners conduct an end-to-end incident response simulation involving detection, containment, eradication, recovery, and post-incident reporting to demonstrate applied security expertise.
