- Cyber Threat Intelligence Units: 3

Catalog description

Cyber Threat Intelligence provides students with the foundational knowledge and applied skills needed to collect, analyze, and operationalize cyber threat intelligence (CTI) in support of modern cybersecurity operations. The course aligns with the EC-Council Certified Threat Intelligence Analyst (CTIA) framework while integrating key U.S. military and intelligence community doctrine, including JP-2.0 (Joint Intelligence), JP-3-12 (Cyberspace Operations), ICD-203 (Analytic Standards), and ICD-206 (Sourcing Requirements). Students learn the complete intelligence lifecycle--from planning and collection to analysis, reporting, and dissemination--using both open-source and technical data. Emphasis is placed on analytic rigor, sourcing discipline, and the production of actionable intelligence that informs decision-making during cyber defense and incident response operations. Through hands-on labs and simulated threat environments, students develop the ability to transform complex data into clear, evidence-based intelligence products consistent with professional analytic and operational standards.
