State-sponsored intruders, ransomware crews and malicious insiders now target ministries, banks, telecoms and utilities with patience and precision, and a firewall alone no longer keeps them out. Five days equip security and audit specialists to find weaknesses before an adversary does and to prove that controls actually work. You map attacker behaviour with the MITRE ATT&CK framework, run threat hunts across SIEM and endpoint telemetry, and harden Windows, Linux and cloud workloads against the CIS Benchmarks.
Audit sessions apply ISO/IEC 27001:2022, COBIT 2019 and NIST CSF 2.0 to test access management, change control, logging and backup. Counter-intelligence modules cover insider threat indicators, social engineering and pretexting, technical surveillance countermeasures, operational security and evidence handling for digital forensics. It is aimed at CISOs, SOC analysts, IT auditors, information security officers, risk managers and investigators in government, defence, financial services and critical infrastructure. Afterwards you can plan a risk-based ICT audit, lead an insider threat review and brief executives on adversary tactics. Delivery is classroom, online or in-house, with a CPD-accredited certificate.
Cyber attacks against African governments, financial institutions and infrastructure operators have become more targeted, often combining technical exploits with deception, insider recruitment and long periods of undetected access. Defending against this kind of adversary takes more than patching and antivirus. It needs security teams that think like attackers, auditors who can test whether controls work in practice, and an organisation alert to the human side of espionage.
The Advanced Cyber Security, Systems Audit and ICT Counter Intelligence Solutions Training Course brings these three disciplines together. Participants start with the current threat landscape and adversary tradecraft, then move through defensive architecture and hardening, detection and threat hunting, risk-based information systems audit, and finally counter-intelligence and insider threat management, with incident response and forensics tying the week together.
Teaching is hands-on. Participants work in a lab environment with log data, packet captures and vulnerable systems, conduct a structured audit of a simulated organisation, and analyse insider and espionage case scenarios. Each day closes with a debrief linking the technical findings to governance, reporting and decision-making.
Participants completing this advanced programme will be able to:
