Top Courses

ITIL Foundation for Security Folks

This is the first course needed to attain the HDN Cyber Security Foundation certificate because it gives all cyber and security folks the basic level of knowledge to understand how companies and core processes work. Without ITIL you can't secure and lock down any customers company and its a skill very rarely seen in modern Cyber Masters (not!).

Course Videos ITIL Foundation

introduction to Cyber Security

This is the missing course that everyone should have taken if you are in security. It goes through core concepts of security and explains the cyber problems we face. Only when understanding how we got here can we then move on to the future of security. This course is unique in that it talks about reasons for security issues and ways to stop them using a proactive and use case based approach.

SIEM, SOC Operations and Log Management

This course finally gives the technical folks a lot of core knowledge in things a SOC (Security Operations Center) needs to function and work correctly, efficiently and leverage data in meaningful ways to discover, recognize and stop attackers and attacks from going further into the organization. We also explore two different SIEM solutions to understand how they work, are used and can be configured to help protect environments faster.

HDN Certified Cyber Detective

After learning the basics its time to use the tools. This course prepares you for real-life by pushing you in the deep dark web cyber pool of goodness. Although we also have an OSINT course this course uses some of those concepts to use the CyberNSight platform to actually find potential threats and risks in the clear-net (visible internet) and the DarkNet (invisible internet). We go through how to configure, set up API and include other services to get you your intelligence fast, easy and in an understandable way that allows you to focus on the important tasks of gathering, qualifying and disseminating intelligence quickly to your organization.

HDN Holistic Health

This course focuses on using different techniques to help security people in high stress environments coop with pressures in a way that is healthy and creates happiness. As in many things security related we don't take care of ourselves the way we should. We look at ways to use mediation, relaxation and breathing methods to get a better focus on ourselves, our bodies and increasing our awareness of illness and pain.
This is the first cyber personnel health-check course of its kind and hopefully not the last,

OSINT, Open Source Dark Intelligence for Cyber Detectives

OSINT Skills for Cyber Analysts using our own Risk Intelligence Framework and Platform
This course goes deeper into techniques and basics of Open Source Intelligence, talking about the intelligence life-cycle and various (technical) and IT related components used in gaining intelligence about targets or attackers using various different types of tools and then speeding all that up by automating many of those tasks using CyberNSight. All Advanced and Certified Courses have Practical Exams or Tasks that need to be completed either online or in the classrooms with groups or as a single analyst.

HDN Certified Cyber Auditor

This course is both for practical and also for partners that want to do ODA Framework based audits and assessments that we usually do for most customers before they choose security products or projects to start. It uses many different aspects of the NIST CSF, IRAMv2 and ISO2700X aspects along with our approach to audits. All partners and people that want to do these audits have have us verify the results MUST go through the foundation courses along with this one. This approach ensures a unified and repeatable and measurable audit, process and reports as well as value to customers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Risk Intelligence?

Risks are potential threats that have not yet happened. Risk intelligence collects data to find potential risks before they turn into threats using the intelligence-life cycle.

Isn't threat intelligence enough?

Why spend money and time on something that already happened? You can save money and time by predicting threats before they actually happen.

Why spend on Risk Intelligence?

Old security training and solutions just don't work anymore because the threat landscape is constantly changing. Why spend money on old techniques that don't work anymore?

I don't need security, I am too small.

The latest attackers focus on exactly this misconception. Smaller companies lose more than bigger companies because they do not have security or minimal security in place. Attackers are interested in you if you are small because you are an easy target.

I already have a SIEM or Log Management

A SIEM or Log Management system doesn't stop attacks it only collects and prepares information if configured correctly. Our systems don't need a SIEM or Log Management. We look on the outside.

Why learn about intelligence?

Intelligence uses data science and forensics as well as data collection to understand trends. These trends help save us time in defending against potential attackers.

Security is only technical

False! Security is actually a business process with technical components. Security protects and increases revenue by focusing on protecting business transactions and customers.

Attackers will always win, why try?

Its about protecting your customers and business. By doing research with the Academy you can actually become part of a bigger defense system that constantly finds new risks. If we can focus on important attackers and groups we can make attacks more difficult. Together we are stronger, alone we are weaker.

Security is too complex.

Our training, Cyber Detectives and CyberNSight makes it easier and faster than before to stay ahead of new attack trends and breaches. Let us help your team or you get results much faster.

How is this training or certification different than all the rest?

We use data, science and experience of attacks and defenses and compare the results of over 25 years of implementation, research and use cases to give tangible results and value to every customer.We have found some of the most complex attackers and groups so far. We publish our research and share with partners so that you are taught to understand how we find things, what data we use and how to collect that yourself.
