Testimonials
Wes M.
The course was great, really informational and good resources. The only issue I ran into was utilizing the VM for applications such as the proton VPN and any other application which I downloaded. Still working on figuring out why I am having these issues.
Patrick T.
I think it was a good match for me. Quite insightful and seems to be a great starting point for gaining knowledge on CTI and understanding basics to put towards a CTI interview and possibly the role too.
Ken R.
This was a great course to tie together the theoretical knowledge and the practical application. It covers analysis and hunting techniques as well as how to put it all together in a report. If you are new to CTI or have some understanding but want to know how to put it into action, this is a good investment. The instructor was clear and succinct. I would like to see a whole course from this instructor just on different CTI use cases.
