• Helps an Organization understand its assets, infrastructure, personnel and business
operations

• Identifies potential vulnerabilities and helps business operations prepare accordingly.

SKILLS NEEDED TO BECOME A THREAT INTELLIGENCE ANALYST
The Biggest Requirement is to be SMART!
Cyber threat analysts apply scientific and technical knowledge to solving complex
intelligence problems. Threat Analyst must be able to take initiative, be creative, and have
analytical skills. A Common Profile:
1. Undergraduate and preferably graduate degree in Computer Science or Information
Security related field.

a. Ability to Collect and Analyze Indicators of Compromise

SAMPLE THREAT INTELLIGENCE REPORT
• 1. Executive Summary
• 2. Key findings
• 3. Background
• 4. Covid-19 Attacks
• 5. IOCs for the campaigns are provided somewhere in the report, usually in the
appendix.

INCIDENT SUMMARY TAKEN FROM RECORDING FUTURES
REPORTING:
• The AZORuIt malware was observed being delivered by phishing documents that used COVID-19 as a lure in
early February 2020. Researchers at Proofpoint observed a COVID-19-themed phishing campaign targeting
the manufacturing, industrial, finance, transportation, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. These attacks
involved emails that contained Microsoft Office document attachments designed to lure victims and exploit a
Microsoft Office vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2017-11882, which allows attackers to run arbitrary code in the
context of the current user. The malicious documents contained what is purported to be an advisory on the
impact of the virus on the shipping industry. Once the malicious document is opened, it installs the
information-stealing malware “AZORult.” The AZORult strain observed in the campaign did not download
ransomware, as it has done in previous attacks. According to researchers at Proofpoint, the malicious emails
are originating from groups in Russia and Eastern Europe. (
• Kaspersky published an article about phishing emails that emulated the CDC, in particular from emails
containing the domains cdc-gov[.]org and cdcgov[.]org. In one instance, the URL contained within a phishing
email led to a fake Microsoft Outlook login page, designed to convince victims to input their credentials. In
another instance, victims were asked to donate Bitcoin to the CDC to aid in the pursuit of a vaccine.

WHY YOU WILL BE IN DEMAND: LEADERS NEED YOU
• Threat intelligence market will move from USD 5.3 billion in 2018 to USD 12.9 billion by
2023. Dice lists over 29,000 Cyber Security Intelligence Analyst jobs.
• Cyber threat intelligence provides proper visibility into such emerging security hazards
to reduce the risk of information loss, minimize or block disruption in business
operations, and maximize regulatory consent. Its your Cyber Weather Forecast
