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.
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.
A structured platform for
intelligence collaboration.
CTIB's advisory network unites people and organisations shaping global responses to cyber threats across sectors and disciplines.

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.
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.
SOC & CTI team benchmarking
Enterprise members use CTIB certification to benchmark hiring, upskilling, and evaluating threat intelligence and security teams, with access to exclusive threat advisories and briefings.
Community & intelligence exchange
CTIB enables secure intelligence sharing among CERTs, CISOs, and incident response teams, supporting early warnings and cross-sector collaboration.
Four tracks. One coherent
professional pathway.
