Certified Threat Intelligence Analyst (CTIA)

Certified Threat Intelligence Analyst (CTIA) Training and Certification

Course Overview

The Certified Threat Intelligence Analyst (CTIA) is a premier certification from EC-Council designed for cybersecurity professionals who want to specialize in threat intelligence. This program equips you with the skills to identify, analyze, and interpret cyber threats proactively, helping organizations stay one step ahead of malicious actors.

Unlike traditional reactive security methods, CTIA focuses on developing predictive intelligence capabilities by gathering, processing, and analyzing data to understand potential threats. The course provides a structured approach aligned with industry frameworks such as NIST, ISO 27001, and the Cyber Kill Chain.

Participants will gain deep knowledge of the threat intelligence lifecycle, including requirements collection, threat modeling, and dissemination. The training also emphasizes the use of open-source intelligence (OSINT), dark web monitoring, threat actor profiling, and advanced tools to deliver actionable intelligence reports.

Whether you’re part of a security operations center (SOC), red team, incident response team, or cyber threat hunting unit, this course will give you a solid foundation in building and managing a threat intelligence program.
