Course Overview

Most security teams are reactive. Something breaks, alerts fire, and the team responds. But by the time an alert fires, the attacker has often been inside the environment for days, weeks, or longer. The organizations that catch threats early aren’t lucky; they’re trained to look for the right things before the damage starts.

This Certified Threat Intelligence Analyst (CTIA) Training program teaches exactly that. It covers cyber threat intelligence training, the Adversary tactics framework, and the threat intelligence lifecycle across strategic, operational, and tactical intelligence environments. The program sits within the Global Industries Intelligence tech certifications portfolio, alongside other professional programs and in-house training options.

Whether you’re moving into a dedicated threat intelligence analyst role or strengthening an existing security function, this gives you a technically grounded, certification-backed foundation to work from.

  • Goals

Course Objectives

By the end of this program, participants will be able to:
  • Apply the threat intelligence lifecycle from data collection through finished intelligence production
  • Use the MITRE ATT&CK framework to map adversary behavior across real attack scenarios
  • Analyze advanced persistent threats and distinguish targeted campaigns from opportunistic attacks
  • Identify and process indicators of compromise across network, endpoint, and malware-based evidence
  • Conduct threat hunting training exercises using structured hypothesis-driven investigation techniques
  • Work toward CTIA certification through a structured, scenario-based assessment pathway
  • Key Points

  • Outline

Course Outline

Day 1: Threat Intelligence Foundations and the Cyber Threat Landscape

  • Covers the threat intelligence lifecycle end-to-end, from requirements definition through dissemination of finished intelligence products
  • Introduces the current cyber threat landscape, including advanced persistent threats, nation-state actors, and financially motivated groups
  • Real breach case studies show how intelligence collected before an attack could have changed the outcome entirely

Day 2: Adversary Tactics Framework and Cyber Kill Chain

  • Covers the MITRE ATT&CK framework in depth, mapping adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures across enterprise environments
  • Participants work through cyber kill chain analysis, tracing an attack from initial reconnaissance through to impact
  • Hands-on exercises apply both frameworks to a simulated breach scenario, building analyst intuition alongside technical knowledge

Day 3: Indicators of Compromise and Threat Intelligence Feeds

  • Covers indicators of compromise identification across network logs, endpoint telemetry, and open-source intelligence sources
  • Participants evaluate and prioritize threat intelligence feeds, distinguishing high-value indicators from noise
  • Output is a structured IOC collection and management process that participants can apply to their own security environment

Day 4: Malware Analysis and Threat Hunting

  • Covers malware analysis training fundamentals, including static and dynamic analysis techniques for common malware families
  • Participants apply threat hunting training methods using hypothesis-driven investigation across simulated endpoint and network data
  • Hands-on exercises build the analytical confidence to move from reactive alert response toward proactive threat detection

Day 5: Strategic Threat Intelligence and Certification Preparation for CTIA

  • Covers strategic threat intelligence production, including intelligence reports, threat actor profiling, and executive briefing formats
  • Participants complete a full threat modeling training exercise, producing a finished intelligence product from raw data
  • Everyone leaves with direct instructor feedback and a defined pathway toward formal CTIA certification
  • Terms

Training Methodology

This program combines:

  • Adversary simulation and live data analysis exercises, not slide-based theory delivery
  • Hands-on threat intelligence feeds evaluation and MITRE ATT&CK-mapped scenario work
  • Malware analysis in controlled environments using real samples from documented breach cases
  • Structured threat modeling exercises with immediate, technical instructor feedback tied to real analyst responsibilities
  • Achievements

Certification

Participants who complete the assessment earn the Certified Threat Intelligence Analyst credential, a globally recognized cyber threat intelligence certification. It demonstrates technical competency across the full threat intelligence lifecycle and is widely valued across SOC, incident response, and dedicated intelligence functions. In-house training is available for security teams building an internal threat intelligence capability. Contact us now for upcoming dates across the Global Industries Intelligence training portfolio.

  • Case Study

Case Study Example

A financial services firm had a mature SOC but no formal threat intelligence function. Analysts were responding to alerts without any context about the threat actors behind them, which made triage slower and prioritization inconsistent. After key analysts completed the CTIA Training program, the team built a structured intelligence process using MITRE ATT&CK mapping and threat intelligence feeds. Within two quarters, the mean time to detect dropped noticeably, and the team began producing weekly threat briefings for the security leadership that hadn’t existed before.

  • Why Choose

Why Choose This Program?

Cybersecurity training that stops at tools and technology produces analysts who can operate software but can’t think like an adversary. This program is built around adversary behavior, intelligence methodology, and the analytical thinking that separates a reactive security team from a proactive one. Take a look at our rigging and slinging program and other courses across our training portfolio; the same standard of technically rigorous, practically focused training runs through everything we deliver.

Fequently Asked Questions

What is the CTIA Training program?

A structured cyber threat intelligence training program covering the threat intelligence lifecycle, MITRE ATT&CK framework, threat artifacts, malware analysis, and threat hunting for security professionals.

A background in security operations, incident response, or network security is recommended. Participants with SOC or analyst experience will find the content directly applicable from day one.

Yes. The program covers tactical and technical intelligence earlier in the week, building toward strategic threat intelligence production and executive briefing formats on Day 5.

Most security certifications focus on defensive tools and technologies. CTIA certification is specifically focused on intelligence methodology, adversary analysis, and the structured production of actionable threat intelligence.

SOC analysts, incident responders, and threat hunters moving into dedicated intelligence roles see the most value, though any security professional working in a high-threat environment will find the analytical framework genuinely useful.
