About the Workshop
Intel 471 hosts this virtual workshop as the second part of its Intelligence-Driven Threat Hunting series. The session builds on foundational concepts from Part 1, advancing into the practical application of geopolitical intelligence within security operations. Participants work directly with Intel 471 analysts and threat hunters through live, scenario-based exercises that reflect how adversaries adapt their operations in response to global events.
Geopolitical Intelligence in Cyber Defense
The workshop examines how shifting geopolitical conditions shape cyber threat activity. Regional conflicts, economic instability and political pressures create environments where adversaries modify their targeting and tactics. Understanding these relationships allows security teams to anticipate threats rather than simply react to them. The session guides participants from strategic geopolitical analysis through to actionable threat hunting, demonstrating how global developments translate into specific adversary behaviors.
Hands-On Threat Hunting Exercises
Attendees work through real-world scenarios, developing hunt hypotheses based on adversary behavior patterns. The exercises emphasize mapping findings to the MITRE ATT&CK framework, providing a structured approach to detection and reporting. This methodology helps organizations standardize their threat hunting outputs and communicate findings effectively across security teams.
Who Should Attend
The workshop suits cybersecurity professionals involved in threat hunting, intelligence analysis and security operations. Relevant roles include threat hunters, cyber threat analysts, SOC analysts, incident responders, security operations managers and intelligence analysts. Organizations in sectors sensitive to geopolitical risk, particularly those with mature security operations, will find the content directly applicable to their defensive strategies.
