Cyber Threat Intelligence for Cloud Systems: A Comprehensive Guide to Becoming an Analyst is not merely a technical manual, but a structured learning path that guides the reader through the intricacies of modern AI-driven cybersecurity. The book begins with the foundational study of asset vulnerabilities, laying the groundwork for understanding the weak points within cloud environments. It then introduces tools and methodologies for the automated collection and supervision of data from assets, culminating in the exploration of advanced techniques, such as Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, for data analysis and automated threat response. Alongside theoretical concepts, the book includes practical examples, hands-on exercises in Python and existing tools, and real-world case studies to help readers solidify their understanding and apply what they've learned. Cybersecurity is one of the fastest-growing fields in today's technological landscape, and with the increasing complexity and pervasiveness of cyber threats, especially in cloud environments, the need for qualified professionals such as Cyber Threat Analysts has never been more critical. Author Gianni D'Angelo provides the technical knowledge required to analyze and defend digital infrastructures, covering both traditional and modern approaches, highlighting how CTI supports decision-making and proactive defense strategies. With this book, readers will build a deep understanding of how intelligence is generated, validated, and used to anticipate and mitigate attacks.
