EC-Council Certified Threat Intelligence Analyst (CTIA)

Are you someone with an analytical mind? If so, our Certified Threat Intelligence Analyst (CTIA) program is perfect for you. As a CTIA, you will serve as a crucial asset to organizations seeking to bolster their cybersecurity defenses. Similar to traditional intelligence agencies, threat intelligence involves identifying and neutralizing potential threats before they can cause harm.

In this role, you will be at the forefront of your organization’s cybersecurity efforts, maintaining a comprehensive watch over both existing and emerging threats. The CTIA program has been meticulously developed in partnership with cybersecurity and threat intelligence experts worldwide. Its primary objective is to assist organizations in recruiting skilled professionals in cyber intelligence who can effectively identify and mitigate business risks. By converting unknown internal and external threats into quantifiable entities, CTIAs can proactively thwart potential threats.
