Threat Intelligence Academy

Sergio Caltagirone has not only made what is within the original paper very digestible, but he also further expands upon the key concepts of the diamond model. I have read the paper a handful of times before this course. Coming out of it, I can confidently say that my understanding of the diamond model has deepened and will be implementing some of the key takeaways that I have gained within our CTI team.

I started the course because I was always interested in the Diamond Model but never read the complete paper only the summary document. The combination of split reading the document in several sessions, additionally reading other really good and relevant papers and finally explaining everything in between in short videos is a perfect way to teach and learn. Seeing how this model can be used together with the Cyber Kill Chain and the MITRE ATT&CK framework and how they complement each other is really great. Attending this course was fun and boosted my level of knowledge.

One of the best courses I have ever taken in my career. Totally disruptive !!!

Diamond Model of Intrusion Analysis training is one of the best on my CTI training path so far, and I highly recommend it for all Analysts and Managers in this field. Regardless of what you are focused on, Requirements, Collection, Analysis or Writing Intel products. It is good training for people from the DFIR field as well - Threat Hunters, Incident Responders. I've read the Diamond Model paper before the course, I even used it with my approach, figuring out how to leverage strong sides of the model, but it has a source in my previous experience, not the training. With Sergio's (trainer) guidance, comments, exercises (+explanation!), which allows settling the Diamond Model in my world, I'm much more familiar and aware of the co-author's philosophy, purposes, powers and limitations of the model. The course is worth much more than the current price. Thank you, Sergio!

Who do you want to learn how to master the Diamond Model from if not from one of its creators? I recommend this course to all CTI analysts. Thanks to Sergio for that.
