Course Overview
Cyber threat intelligence teams monitor underground communities and data leak sites to identify risks before they escalate into incidents. Monitoring these environments helps organisations detect exposed data, track threat actors, and improve response readiness.
This mentor-led programme introduces investigative methods aligned with Dark Web monitoring practices. Learners explore how threat actor marketplaces operate, how leaked data is shared, and how security teams track emerging threats.
Through practical scenarios and guided exercises, participants practise identifying relevant intelligence sources, analysing threat activity, and establishing monitoring workflows. By the end of the programme, learners will understand how to transform dark web observations into actionable threat intelligence and response actions.
