C|TIA: The Credential that Sets Gold Standard in

Developing Global Threat Intelligence Skills,
For Professionals Worldwide into the Ranks of the Elite.

Why is Threat Intelligence Crucial

for Any Organization?

Problem enterprises face today:

Complex Cyberattacks:
As per BlackBerry® Cybersecurity solutions, threat actors deployed an average of 11.5 attacks per
minute between March and May 2023, including 1.7 novel malware samples per minute.

SonicWall reported that over 270,228 new malware variants were discovered in 2022.

Lack of skills:
According to the Vulcan Gartner Peer Insights Report, 73% of cybersecurity professionals indicated a
"lack of skills" as their biggest threat intelligence challenge.

Solution enterprises need to stay secure:

• Identifying threats before they strike
• Adopting a proactive defense strategy
• Effectively detecting, responding, and mitigating focused and targeted threats

In short, organizations need cybersecurity professionals with appropriate threat intelligence skills
to remediate attacks!

 Why Do Top Cybersecurity Professionals Across
the Globe Find C|TIA the Most Desirable
Cyber Threat Intelligence Program

The C|TIA program is unique, and I could not find any other certification in the
same area. I enjoyed the various insights into what threat intelligence is all about,
how to gather the various sources of information and ways to correlate all this
information to form a credible source regarding potential cyberattacks. C|TIA
program, being a niche area on its own, is also very much related to many other
cybersecurity practices.

14 years ago, I joined the United States Marine Corps as an All Source Intelligence
Analyst. I now work for Clear Ridge Defense, a National Defense contractor
alongside DoD and government agency in supporting missions and operations
globally.
I appreciate three key aspects of this program. Firstly, its methodical approach allows
us to address potential problems proactively, especially those stemming from
unfamiliar methods. Secondly, the program's currency is commendable. The hard
work invested in certifications is evident through the current and up-to-date
problem sets and tools provided, fostering a forward-thinking mindset. Lastly, the lab WADE SPEAKS
environments are enjoyable. The simulation, combined with a relaxed setting, enables USA
individuals to learn at their own pace, making it a valuable training ground when Senior Cyber
executed effectively – and C|TIA labs achieved just that. Fusion Analyst

I have gained all the theoretical and practical knowledge for the cybersecurity
domain, specifically in certain intelligence. I have taken a three-day training program
from EC-Council, and the instructor's knowledge was up to the top. He had very
good knowledge and helped me with all my queries in real-time. If you see the
course content of the C|TIA program, it is set as per the industry standards, and it
will help you in your career. The third thing I liked was its practical scenario. When
you take the course and learn online with the instructor, you come across many
practical components. The instructor helped me a lot and will surely help you if you
take this course.
