What CTIB Is

More than a certification body.
A global intelligence institution.

CTIB operates across two interconnected pillars — professional certification standards and an active advisory network — creating a unified ecosystem for the cyber intelligence profession.

Pillar 1 · Certification standards

The credentialing authority for cyber intelligence professionals

Four structured certification tracks built on vendor-neutral, evidence-based frameworks aligned with NCSC guidelines. From entry-level analysts to elite forensics experts.

CSA-201 · Security Analyst CTI-301 · Threat Intelligence SOC-401 · SOC Analyst CFE-500 · Cyber Forensics
Pillar 2 · Advisory network

Connecting governments, enterprises, and intelligence communities

A structured advisory and partnership network that enables intelligence sharing, policy engagement, CERT ecosystem collaboration, and enterprise workforce readiness programmes globally.

Advisory Network

A structured platform for
intelligence collaboration.

CTIB's advisory network brings together the people and organisations that shape how the world responds to cyber threats — across sectors, borders, and disciplines.

Government advisory

Structured engagement with national cybersecurity agencies, CERTs, and defence bodies on intelligence standards and workforce policy.

Enterprise membership

Fortune 500 and public sector organisations benchmark their security teams against CTIB standards and access threat intelligence outputs.

Intelligence sharing

Member-only access to threat advisories, early-warning briefs, and structured IOC sharing across the CTIB practitioner community.

Regional chapters

Local CTIB chapters provide in-region community events, mentorship, and liaison between practitioners and national bodies.

Symposium & conferences

Annual CTIB Global CTI Symposium brings together researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to define the future of the profession.

Academic partnerships

Formal relationships with universities and research institutions to co-develop curricula and advance the intelligence body of knowledge.

For governments & agencies

Intelligence workforce readiness

CTIB works with national cybersecurity bodies and defence agencies to baseline analyst competency, develop training frameworks, and establish common intelligence standards across government teams.

For enterprises

SOC & CTI team benchmarking

Enterprise members use CTIB certification as the benchmark for hiring, upskilling, and evaluating their threat intelligence and security operations teams — with access to member-only threat advisories and briefings.

For CERTs & CISOs

Community & intelligence exchange

CTIB facilitates structured intelligence sharing between CERTs, CISOs, and incident response teams across the network — creating a trusted channel for early-warning advisories and cross-sector collaboration.
