IOC vs TTP Playbook for Teams
RCCE students will learn the distinction between Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) and Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs), and how each type of intelligence drives different detection and response strategies. RCCE students will learn to collect, analyze, and operationalize both IOCs and TTPs, understand the relative longevity and value of each intelligence type using the Pyramid of Pain framework, develop IOC-based detection rules for rapid response and TTP-based detections for resilient defense, integrate both intelligence types into SIEM and EDR platforms, prioritize detection investments, and produce intelligence products that combine IOC and TTP analysis. This team-oriented course builds collaborative workflows and organizational playbooks for security operations. Starting from foundational concepts, RCCE students will learn to create and implement standardized procedures that enable consistent performance across team members and shifts. Students develop the documentation, communication, and coordination skills needed for effective team-based security operations.
