Section 1

Introduction to Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI)

This domain provides an overview of Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI), focusing on the processes and methodologies used to identify, assess, and mitigate cybersecurity threats. It includes understanding the types of threat intelligence (strategic, operational, tactical, and technical), the role of CTI in enhancing an organization’s security posture, and the importance of data collection, analysis, and dissemination. CTI empowers organizations to proactively defend against cyber threats through informed decision-making and timely response.

Threat Intelligence Lifecycle

The Threat Intelligence Lifecycle involves the structured process of gathering, analyzing, and utilizing threat data to protect against cyber risks. It’s like a detective solving a crime: you first gather clues (collection), investigate their meaning (analysis), use the findings to predict future threats (dissemination), and act on that knowledge (feedback). The cycle is continuous, as new threats emerge, making it necessary to adjust strategies and keep learning.
