Technovalley Certified Threat Hunter

The Technovalley Certified Threat Hunter (TCTH) is an in-depth 60-hour program focused on advanced threat intelligence and active threat hunting. The curriculum covers critical security frameworks, intelligence gatherers, and analytical methodologies including Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs), MISP, the Cyber Kill Chain, OSINT, and active Threat Hunting. At the end of the program, candidates will be skilled in advanced threat intelligence gathering, hypothesis-driven hunting, and complex data correlation.\n\nThe program is structured across eight comprehensive modules. Module 01 introduces Cyber Threats with case studies including Moonlight Maze, WannaCry Ransomware analysis, and phishing attack vectors. Module 02 covers Introduction to Threat Intelligence including Operation Aurora case study, phases of cyber threat intelligence, hunting techniques, features and behaviour extraction, clustering and correlation, and threat tracking and takedown. Module 03 covers Types of Threat Intelligence including tactical intelligence (IOCs), operational intelligence (TTPs, SOC, Snort), and strategic intelligence. Module 04 covers IOCs and TTPs with MITRE ATT&CK Framework and MISP (Malware Information Sharing Platform). Module 05 covers Intrusion Analysis including Diamond Model of Intrusion Analysis, Cyber Kill Chain, handling multiple kill chains, and threat modeling. Module 06 covers Threat Hunting including malware analysis with VirusTotal, OSINT techniques, deep web and dark web investigation, and collecting information from domains and TLS certificates. Module 07 covers Features Extraction and Behaviour Extraction including logical fallacies and cognitive biases, hypothesis generation, Analysis of Competing Hypotheses (ACH), DNSDB, and fuzzy hashes (CTPH, ssdeep). Module 08 covers Clustering and Correlation including Panama Papers case study, names and clustering rules, visual and temporal analysis, STIX Domain Objects, TAXII Framework, OpenIOC, and Lazarus Group case study.\n\nA key strength of this program is its practical, case-study driven approach. Students learn through real-world examples including Moonlight Maze, WannaCry, Operation Aurora, Panama Papers, and Lazarus Group, providing context for theoretical concepts. The program emphasizes hands-on skills in threat hunting methodologies, intelligence gathering, and data correlation.\n\nThe program is designed for professionals with basic computer knowledge. Career opportunities include Security Threat Hunter, Associate Director of Threat Hunting and Response, and Security Analyst specializing in Threat Hunting. Salary benchmarks indicate strong earning potential with competitive salaries in India's cybersecurity industry.
