Key Learning Areas

✓
Cyber Counterintelligence Missions — Fundamentals of defensive and offensive strategy with a focus on counterespionage and CI activities.
✓
Cyber Infiltration & Information Operations — Techniques for infiltration and disruption through information warfare with cases from the United States, Russia, China, and Iran.
✓
Disinformation & Misinformation Tactics — Study adversary influence playbooks and apply AI to identify, track, and neutralize campaigns.
✓
Hybrid and Asymmetric Warfare — Work inside the gray zone with hybrid strategies that destabilize targets, including use of cyber auxiliaries.
✓
Adversary Targeting & Dossiers — Build profiles, produce dossiers, and support clandestine activity with surveillance, countersurveillance, and cyber personas.
✓
Insider Threats — Identify, assess, and mitigate insider risk with AI-driven triage and pattern discovery.
✓
Offensive Countermeasures — Design deception and active defense strategies with AI support for planning and execution.

Generative AI Integration

Generative AI powers simulations of adversary behavior, strengthens deception design, and surfaces real-time insight. Automation supports disinformation detection, counter-influence action, and refinement of tactics while operations are in motion.

Core Topics

✓
Information Warfare & Cyber Operations — Review global operations from state and proxy actors, including references to Russian military-political concepts, Chinese influence practice, and Iranian activity.
✓
Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) — Master passive collection, persona construction, and tool-based profiling of adversaries.
✓
Cyber Espionage & Counterintelligence — Run simulations that mirror real campaigns and practice countermeasures that blunt hostile action.
✓
GANs & Deepfakes — Study creation and detection methods and apply safeguards against AI-driven deception.
✓
Weaponization of Information — Analyze how adversaries manipulate audiences, spread propaganda, and attack trust in institutions.

Practical Applications

✓
Create and run credible cyber personas for collection and engagement.
✓
Apply AI-driven tools for advanced social media research and target development.
✓
Conduct passive data collection that tracks TTPs across platforms.
✓
Strengthen critical thinking and deliver innovative assessments.
✓
Build and deploy AI models that support deception planning and active defense.

Special Focus Areas

✓
Russian, Chinese, and Iranian cyber methods for influence, espionage, and information warfare.
✓
Adversary campaign anatomy, objectives, and operational vectors with AI-aided counter-deception and anticipatory action.
✓
Deception planning and execution using AI to model reactions and refine tactics.

Independent Research

Assignments reinforce method with AI tooling across threat studies, disinformation tracking, deception design, and analytic production. Work focuses on how AI strengthens operational cybersecurity and passive collection to produce outcomes that transfer to the job.

Outcome

Graduates understand modern counterintelligence and the role of AI across missions. Skills include detection, disruption, and defense against evolving threats, adversary profiling, and strategy design for resilient protection.

Offensive Countermeasures

Learn open-source tools and AI-enhanced methods that reinforce deception and denial. Concepts inspired by active defense practice frame tactics that slow intruders, support attribution, and shape safe, effective countermeasures. AI augments monitoring, highlights behavioral pivots, and suggests intervention points that raise the cost for attackers.

Advanced Toolsets & AI

Tooling is organized for annoyance, attribution, and active defense. Annoyance increases friction and forces mistakes. Attribution clarifies origin, tradecraft, and path. Active defense guides lawful response. AI knits detection, behavior tracking, and predictive analysis into a faster, more proactive posture.
