Various cyber threats, threat actors, and their objectives for cyberattacks.

Fundamentals of threat intelligence (including threat intelligence types, life cycle, strategy, capabilities, maturity model, frameworks, etc.)

Cyber kill chain methodology, Advanced Persistent Threat (APT), Indicators of Compromise (IoCs), and the pyramid of pain.

Threat intelligence program steps (Requirements, Planning, Direction, Review).

Types of data feeds, sources, and data collection methods.

Threat intelligence data collection and acquisition through Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT), Human Intelligence (HUMINT), Cyber Counterintelligence (CCI), Indicators of Compromise (IoCs), and malware analysis.

Bulk data collection and management (data processing, structuring, normalization, sampling, storing, and visualization).

Data analysis types and techniques including Statistical Data Analysis, Structured Analysis of Competing Hypotheses (SACH), etc.

Complete threat analysis process including threat modeling, fine-tuning, evaluation, runbook, and knowledge base creation.

Different data analysis, threat modeling, and threat intelligence tools.

Creating effective threat intelligence reports.

Different threat intelligence sharing platforms, acts, and regulations for sharing strategic, tactical, operational, and technical intelligence.

Organizations today demand a professional-level cybersecurity threat intelligence analyst who can extract intelligence from data by implementing various advanced strategies. Such professional-level threat intelligence training programs can only be achieved when the core of the curricula maps with and is compliant to government and industry published threat intelligence frameworks.

CTIA is a method-driven threat intelligence program that uses a 360-degree approach, covering concepts from planning to building a threat intelligence report for pre-emptive threat detection and preventive measures. These concepts are highly essential while building effective threat intelligence and, when used properly, can secure organizations from future threats or attacks.

Why Organizations Need A Threat Intelligence Team

Cyber threat intelligence includes reliable data collection from numerous sources, context relevant analysis, production of useful intelligence, and distributing the relevant information to stakeholders. Organizations can upgrade their defenses and create countermeasures by acquiring intelligence related to the Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) of potential threat actors. A threat intelligence analyst should have specialized skills and knowledge to competently understand the methodology and mindset of modern attackers and deploy the threat intelligence accordingly.

This threat intelligence training program will benefit professionals who are looking to build effective threat intelligence for their organization in order to combat modern-day cyberattacks and prevent future attacks.
