Attack the Network

Run a real intelligence operation. Map a hostile network, find the man behind it, and take it apart.

Three sessions of real analyst tradecraft, the link analysis tool used by working analysts, and a live simulated operation. Finish with a certificate of completion.

The situation

Somewhere out there, a network is operating.

Money moves. Weapons move. People vanish. Every movement leaves a trace, and every trace connects to a person.

Most people never see it. An analyst maps it.

This workshop puts you in the analyst's chair.

The workshop

Three sessions. One operation.

01

The Intelligence Analyst

What the job actually is. How intelligence work runs, where the analyst sits in it, and how to think like one. You produce your first intelligence product before the session ends.

02

Attack the Network

The core method. Link and network analysis theory, then a hands-on tutorial where you build the chart yourself and learn how analysts find the node that holds a network together.

03

Run the Operation

Exercise JADE DRAGON. A live simulated intelligence operation. You receive the reporting, you build the picture, you name the target. Nobody holds your hand.

Three in-depth sessions that teach you real intelligence tradecraft. Straight from the lessons:

Lesson slide: the most underrated skill in the world right now
Lesson slide: pattern recognition, from the story of a live network investigation
Lesson slide: closeness centrality, the network science of who matters
The tools

You work on the real kit.

Chart the network in OpenSATs

The browser-based link analysis platform used in the sessions. You chart the people, the companies, the accounts and the communications between them, and the structure of the network gives the target away.

Run the operation on POET

Exercise JADE DRAGON runs on POET, our operation simulator. Reporting lands, the picture builds, and you make the calls. It is the same engine our certification students train on.

From people who took it

The workshop went well beyond passive classroom learning and required students to apply link analysis, network mapping, high-value target identification and structured assessment writing to realistic, evolving scenarios. Feedback throughout was specific, actionable and clearly grounded in recognised intelligence tradecraft.

Ashley W.Threat Intelligence, Former British Military

One of the most practical intelligence-analysis trainings I've completed... this workshop provides a strong foundation and a realistic taste of how analysts think through complex networks. Highly recommended.

Joshua K.Protective Intelligence & Investigations Professional

The curriculum was hands-on and grounded in real-world application, including access to POET and OpenSATs for link analysis, tools that made abstract concepts immediately tangible. No theory for theory's sake. Just skills you can actually use.

Cristina A.Political Scientist

As someone with a background in national security... it was fascinating to see some of the methods, critical thinking, and analytical processes that intelligence professionals use every day.

Caitlin L.Officer, United States Air Force

Biggest takeaway for me was the formal application of the centrality metrics in network analysis. Finally being able to put specific terms towards concepts that have come naturally to me... Plus, the practical capstone exercise/report was a nice touch.

Luis G.Cybersecurity, Truesec

The workshop was well presented and made complex analytical concepts easy to follow and apply... seeing how seemingly disconnected entities can be mapped into meaningful relationships, helping uncover patterns, key nodes, and potential investigative leads.

Ekta S.OSINT & Digital Investigator

One of the biggest takeaways for me was how visualising relationships can uncover patterns that aren't immediately obvious when information is viewed in isolation. It's a valuable way to approach complex problems and make more informed, evidence-based decisions.

Rishi C.Business Information Systems Graduate

Effective intelligence analysis is not just about visualizing connections; it's about identifying leverage points that can support informed decision-making and meaningful action... a practical, engaging, and highly relevant learning experience.

Lynn D.Global Strategy and Governance Expert

The workshop really was a full circle experience intended for outside of the box thinkers and a real sleuth challenge for curious minds.

David V.Strategic Intelligence Analyst

A wonderful experience, combining theory and methodology with analysis, report writing and hands-on work with tools... I had so much fun with Attack the Network, looking forward to future challenges!

Moran A.Intelligence Analyst, Business Intelligence

Highly recommended, well presented and supported, and great materials and delivery. Really something useful and important for any security professionals out there.

A. M.Senior Protective Security Advisor

A valuable step in strengthening analytical thinking, situational awareness, and informed decision-making in complex environments.

David Y.High Risk Close Protection, Risk Management Consultant

Who runs this

ALCON Intelligence Ltd

ALCON Intelligence Ltd is a New Zealand intelligence training company. We run the Intelligence Analyst Certification Course (IACC) and train analysts from first principles to working standard.

This workshop uses the same methods and the same simulation environment our certification students train on. You learn the tradecraft the way working analysts apply it, then prove it on a live operation.
