ADINT Cyber Intelligence Institute

What ADINT Cyber Intelligence Institute does

ADINT Cyber Intelligence Institute is a privately held Brazilian cybersecurity training and consulting firm headquartered in Recife, Pernambuco. It delivers specialized training in cyber threat intelligence, ethical hacking, industrial cybersecurity (ICS/SCADA), and darknet analysis, and serves cybersecurity professionals, critical infrastructure operators, military and defense personnel, law enforcement, and career changers. The firm describes itself as the #1 cyber intelligence training platform in Latin America, with its origin DNA tied to Brazilian Special Forces (Forças Especiais) and an "Adsumus" readiness ethos, and it pursues professional, enterprise, and government/defense clients across Latin America.

The company's product surface comprises four proprietary training courses — Cyber Intelligence Professional (40 hours, 10 modules), Maltego Threat Analysis (10 hours, 6 modules), Darknet Intelligence Analysis (18 hours, 8 modules), and ICS/SCADA Hacker Intelligence (20 hours, 7 modules, the first course of its kind in Latin America) — alongside preparation for five EC-Council certifications (C|TIA, C|EH, E|CIH, CSA, ICS/SCADA Cybersecurity). It also delivers five consulting services: ICS/OT Threat Intelligence, Malware Analysis & Reverse Engineering, Threat Emulation, Cybersecurity Crisis Exercises, and Geopolitical Intelligence. Technical delivery relies on EC-Council platforms, Maltego, virtual labs, CTF competitions, and hands-on practical exercises.

Commercially, ADINT operates a sales-led, community- and event-driven go-to-market with online training, WhatsApp- and contact-form-based quote requests, and no public pricing. It is an official EC-Council Training Partner, and its founder Robson Silva — a Brazilian Air Force and Naval Infantry Corps veteran, EC-Council certified instructor, and doctoral candidate at King's College London — leads research, instruction, and consulting. The company is bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding rounds.

Direct peers

• SANS Institute: A leading global provider of cybersecurity training and certification programs (GIAC). SANS is a direct competitor in advanced cybersecurity skills training, particularly in ICS/SCADA security, threat intelligence, and incident handling — areas where ADINT offers competing courses.
• OffSec (Offensive Security): Provider of hands-on offensive security training and the OSCP certification. OffSec competes in ethical hacking, penetration testing, and ICS/SCADA training (e.g., OSWP), overlapping directly with ADINT's ethical hacking and ICS/SCADA Hacker Intelligence offerings.
• TryHackMe: An online cybersecurity training platform with hands-on labs and guided learning paths. TryHackMe is a direct competitor in entry-to-mid-level cybersecurity skills training, with similar self-paced virtual lab and CTF-based pedagogy to ADINT's online programs.
• Cybrary: Online cybersecurity and IT training platform offering courses, certification prep, and hands-on labs. Cybrary competes directly with ADINT in virtual, on-demand cybersecurity certification preparation and SOC/incident response training.
• Hack The Box: Hands-on cybersecurity upskilling platform with labs, CTFs, and academy content for offensive security professionals. Hack The Box overlaps directly with ADINT's Maltego Threat Analysis, ICS/SCADA Hacker Intelligence, and CTF-driven learning experiences.
• INE Security: Cybersecurity and networking training company offering hands-on labs and certification prep across ethical hacking, penetration testing, and SOC analyst tracks. INE's catalog and delivery model closely mirror ADINT's training-plus-certification approach.

Emerging players

• Cloud Range: Provider of cyber range simulations and crisis exercises for SOC, IR, and OT security teams. Cloud Range competes directly with ADINT's Cybersecurity Crisis Exercises and ICS/SCADA Threat Emulation consulting services.
• Antisyphon Training: Boutique cybersecurity training company founded by well-known practitioners, focusing on blue team, threat intelligence, and incident response. Antisyphon competes with ADINT in the threat intelligence and SOC analyst segments, particularly in the Americas.

Broad incumbents

• EC-Council: The certification body behind C|TIA, CEH, E|CIH, CSA, and ICS/SCADA Cybersecurity. ADINT is an official EC-Council Training Partner, but EC-Council also sells directly to learners and through other partners — making it both a critical platform partner and a broader incumbent in the same training market.

Others

• Semperis: While primarily an identity security software vendor, Semperis runs a training academy that prepares professionals for identity-related cyber threats. It represents an adjacent, vendor-led training ecosystem that competes for the same ICS/enterprise security learner wallet share.
