What is Threat Intelligence?

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

Cloudflare mitigates record-breaking 71 million request-per-second DDoS attacks in 2023.

Cyberattacks are getting complex with rapid advancements in technology. Therefore, organizations must upgrade their defenses and develop countermeasures by acquiring intelligence related to potential threat actors’ tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs). To tackle intricate threat vectors, these huge information need to be broken down and analyzed , which then needs to be turned into actionable intelligence and data to bolster organizational defense and proactively predict and mitigate future threats. Cyber threat intelligence includes reliable data collection from numerous sources, context-relevant analysis, production of useful intelligence, and distribution of relevant information to stakeholders.

Unique Program in Threat Intelligence

5 Star Rating
The C|TIA program is unique in that I cannot find any other certification in the same area as C|TIA, and that's the reason why I took C|TIA up in the first place. I enjoyed the various insights
into what threat intelligence is all about and how to gather the various sources of information and then correlate all this information together to form a credible source of information regarding potential cyber attacks. C|TIA program, being a niche area on its own, is also very much related to a lot of other cybersecurity practices.
