Overview: The Certificate in Cyber Intelligence for Security Operatives is designed to provide participants with practical and industry proficiency and skills to conduct intelligence-led security operations and to practically apply various scenarios to deal with complex security situations. 

This programme is tailored to provide Security Operatives with the necessary strategies and measures to conduct thorough risk assessments in various areas in various environments. Participants will acquire the skills needed to gather actionable intelligence and make informed decisions to enhance security measures using techniques pertinent to Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT), Human Intelligence (HUMINT), and the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in intelligence gathering during investigations. The combination of these approaches will equip participants to adeptly counter potential cyber-threats that can threaten the security of Critical Information Infrastructures (CII), other critical security installations, sensitive public spaces, organisations and nation-states towards the overall enhancement of the global security landscape. 

The training session will also address legal and ethical considerations in cybercrime intelligence operations, ensuring that participants understand the importance of compliance standards and ethical conduct in cybersecurity practices.
