"This is hands down one of the best cyber training I have attended. It is a rare balance of an instructor who is an expert at the material he presented, and one who is able to present the material to those unfamiliar with the subject of intelligence. The hands-on scenarios highlight the relevance of the subject matter and how to effectively identify and counter such campaigns. Anyone working in support of the government should absolutely benefit from this training. The analysis, tools, and techniques presented can be translated to real-world skills directly after the class. I will absolutely try to attend any other training offered by Treadstone71 and Jeff Bardin."
"As technology constantly and rapidly changes, so does the way our information is attacked and gathered. Society is being shown, that not only in the cyber realm but in human intelligence gathering, the lengths people will go to in order to obtain information. Treadstone71 courses allow professionals on all levels, the ability to learn methods, techniques, and tools; to not only collect information, but to recognize and counter the gathering, analytics, and critical thinking skills utilized in intelligence and denial and deception. The hands-on case studies, scenarios, and team presentations provide the ability for the extensive comprehension necessary to strengthen both your personal and professional intelligence capabilities. Mr. Bardin as an instructor is very cognizant, accomplished and well-informed in the realm of his teachings and the culture of Cyber Intelligence and Counter-Intelligence. I would highly suggest that anyone working in any sort of Intelligence, Security, System Administration, Information Systems Officer, attend his courses. I have had the privilege to attend two courses so far (Cyber Intelligence and Cyber Counter Intelligence) and look forward to attending as many as Treadstone71 has available. Don’t' miss out, be vigilant, be smart, be proactive."

Course syllabus and content proprietary to Treadstone 71

This course presents the student with foundational concepts and processes in the discipline of cyber counterintelligence with a focus on cyber counterintelligence missions, defensive counterintelligence, offensive counterintelligence, and counterespionage as these realms apply to traditional tradecraft, and how they are or will evolve into the cyber domain. By starting with traditional counterintelligence and progressing to cyber counterintelligence, the student will develop an appreciation for collection efforts, exploitation of potential threats, insider concerns, and the risks and benefits of counterintelligence.

With the expanding importance of the comprehensive and timely need for intelligence for nations as well as businesses, the student will explore the essential elements that make up the intelligence cycle with a focus on how these pivotal points are exploited. As part of this class, the exploration of the continued importance of critical thinking, as well as out-of¬the-box analysis, will be heavily leveraged to improve the critical-thinking skills of the students. As cyber topics continue to evolve, the increased importance of cyber intelligence is growing and as such the protection of our intelligence cycles will expand as well; emphasizing the growing need to ensure our processes are not compromised in a cyber-dominated landscape. Cyber Counterintelligence is one aspect and possibly one of the most crucial topics at the core of protecting our collection efforts. The potential for active defense or offensive cyber counterintelligence operations will be covered.

The course will rely heavily on individual research and group discussion to explore the world of cyber counterintelligence, and where applicable, make use of the student’s ability to do independent thinking and analysis of in-class problems assigned through weekly discussion threads. This course focuses on open source intelligence and adversaries while creating online personas to assist in data collection and information extraction. This introductory course examines open source intelligence collection as well as the availability and use of OSINT tools. Students will be able to understand the use methods of only anonymity, the fundamentals behind cyber persona development, enrollment in various social media sites and applications, and how these current methods can be employed in their organizations to assist in operational cyber security, their defense against adversaries, and passive data collection. The establishment of cyber personas takes patience and time to create a credible resource. Parallel activities occur through the outline above. Treadstone 71 maintains separation from the client as required maintaining confidentiality of methods and processes.

Sitreps and current intelligence may redirect activities. The intent is to establish a program of cyber and open source intelligence that creates data streams for analysis. Data streams take the time to develop to establish links, trends, tendencies and eventually, anticipatory and predictive analysis. The desire is to move from a detective approach to one that is preventive while moving too predictive.
