Developing Cybersecurity Curriculum with Cyber Threat Intelligence and Honeypot Platform

Join UNF on June 26, 2023 for a workshop on cybersecurity curriculum development!

With the rapid development of attackers’ Techniques, Tactics, and Procedures (TTP), it is necessary for cybersecurity analysts to develop cyber defense knowledge to protect cyber assets. The field of cyber threat intelligence provides a broad range of techniques for collecting useful information to analyze the attacker’s TTP. In this workshop hosted by the University of North Florida, instructors will discuss the development of a Cyber Threat Intelligence course. Moreover, they will discuss how the deployment of a Honeypot server can be used to improve students’ understanding of cyberattacks. Finally, they will discuss issues and considerations related to the development of cybersecurity curricula.
