Course
Analyzing Reconnaissance Threats to Computing and Network Environments
This course teaches how to implement threat modeling tools and tactics and assess the impacts of reconnaissance and social engineering.
Course description
Before threat actors launch their attack in earnest, they gather information. The information available to them is almost always a result of their target's behavior. The attacker simply does their own research, and suddenly they've made their job a lot easier. You need to analyze just what attackers can learn from your organization in order to get a better picture of what they'll attack, and how.

Social engineering includes phishing emails, telephone calls and even in-person attacks that take advance of human nature and psychology to trick a victim into helping the attacker.
Assess the Impact of Reconnaissance
Video - 00:13:00
This video explores the tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) used by attackers, as well as indicators of compromise (IOCs). It also discusses common attack tools.
Implement Threat Modeling
Video - 00:10:00
Risk management looks at security from the inside of the network to the outside. Threat modeling looks at attacks from the outside in, as an attacker would. Threat modeling provides a different way of looking at threats.
