Digital Data Exhaust for Security Professionals

Training for Security & Intelligence Professionals

Hands-on Training

In today’s digital age, intelligence and security professionals must understand the hidden world of digital “exhaust” - the digital breadcrumbs we leave behind - and advertising technology (AdTech). This course provides hands-on training in exploiting AdTech data for intelligence and security applications. This two-day course is designed to give students a solid understanding of how digital exhaust is generated, its use in marketing and targeted advertising and the types of information it comprises. Over the course of the two days, students will be exposed to the ways criminals and threat actors exploit this data to compromise security. Students will receive hand-on training on tools and methods to use this data to create and enhance digital intelligence to combat this type of activity.


Students will be provided with an Android OS device and a Jupyter Notebook for the hands-on portion of this training.
