MISP training

Use MISP more effectively

MISP gives threat intelligence teams a powerful way to store, correlate and share intelligence. But the platform is only useful when your team knows how to use it well.

Our MISP training is practical and hands-on. Your team works through lab scenarios based on real-world use cases, building the skills they need to use MISP in their day-to-day work.

Regions
We run private training in Africa, Asia Pacific, Europe, LATAM, Middle East and North America.
Prerequisites
No prior MISP experience needed. Basic familiarity with the command line is enough.
Equipment
A computer each person can install software on, with administrator rights.

MISP Kickstart Training

MISP Kickstart is our practical introduction to MISP. Over two half-days, live and online, your team sets up, configures and uses its own MISP instance.

Attendees work through lab scenarios drawn from real-world use cases rather than theory. Everyone leaves with a working instance, the course materials and a certificate of completion.
