See CRICOS-registered alternativesAs cyberattacks grow in speed and sophistication, effective threat intelligence is essential for proactive defence. This unit examines the tools, techniques, and frameworks used to detect, analyse, and respond to emerging cyber threats. Students will gain hands-on experience with Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems and Threat Intelligence Platforms (TIPs) to investigate malicious activity and correlate threat data across sources. The unit explores the role of Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs), threat feeds, and intelligence sharing mechanisms in understanding attacker behaviour and anticipating system vulnerabilities. Students will engage with the threat intelligence lifecycle and learn to transform complex technical data into actionable insights that support both operational security and strategic planning. Through applied exercises and real-world scenarios, students will build the technical and analytical skills needed to contribute to organisational and national security, producing clear, targeted intelligence products for diverse stakeholders in a rapidly evolving threat landscape.
