Course Modules

Full Module Outline
# Module Title Summary Assignment / Activity
1 Foundations of Intelligence and OSINT in Transnational Cybercrime Define intelligence operationally; treat OSINT as structured insight. Focus on reconnaissance phases, linguistic layering, pseudonym tracking, and surface-to-darknet transitions. Launch task-based outputs. Tool-based OSINT lab and first-stage intelligence report
2 Stakeholder Analysis and Strategic Intelligence Framing Map criminal ecosystems through stakeholder domains and influence modeling. Link actors to infrastructure, illicit finance, and logistics. Build adversary profiles with prioritization. Stakeholder map and adversary profile
3 Data Provenance, Collection Discipline, and Digital OPSEC Build evidentiary workflows with legal admissibility in mind. Operationalize browser capture, dark web monitoring, timestamping, and persona protection. OPSEC simulation and chain-of-custody validation
4 Cultural Profiling and Behavioral Mapping Apply Hofstede’s dimensions to regional behavior and cyber activity. Analyze TTPs, deception patterns, and organizational logic across regions. Behavioral mapping and deception signal detection
5 STEMPLES+ Indicators of Change and Predictive Signatures Track shifts in tradecraft, cadence, and volatility. Build predictive models to spot inflection points before escalation. Predictive dashboard and volatility mapping
6 Adversary Targeting and Actor Ecosystem Mapping Move from recognition to targeting. Model internal economies and hierarchies. Prepare disruption-ready targeting packages. Targeting package with hierarchy map
7 Hybrid Threats, State Proxies, and Geopolitical Overlay Assess cybercrime as geopolitical activity. Trace overlaps among ransomware, sanctions evasion, and proxy coordination. Hybrid threat assessment and attribution simulation
8 Structured Analysis and Competing Hypotheses in Cybercrime Apply ACH, red teaming, and futures methods to incomplete cases. Address mirror imaging and deception signals through structured output. ACH matrix and futures projection
9 Cognitive Tradecraft and Bias Elimination Confront bias and overconfidence. Calibrate estimative language, write under pressure, and deliver measurable products. Bias mitigation report and writing drill
10 Applied Analysis Types and Behavioral Intelligence Structuring Apply fourteen analysis types to behavioral patterns. Select models under constraint and brief escalation chains. Escalation model and method matching
11 Intelligence Writing and Operational Report Development Produce CIIR-style reports, simulation debriefs, and decision briefs. Move from interpretation to recommendation. CIIR report and live brief simulation
12 Insider Threats and Elicitation Methods Test claims under pressure, force impostors off-script, and treat video calls as forensic tests. Run liveness checks, workspace scans, and stress-tested interviews. Elicitation lab with interview stressors
13 Case Studies Full-spectrum adversary simulations close the course. Track actors, respond to injects, coordinate across jurisdictions, and deliver debriefs. Capstone simulation and final debrief

Tools & Outputs

AI-augmented writing templates for structured reports
Visual maps that track laundering pathways
