Description
Step into the World of Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI)

In today’s digital battlefield, knowing your enemy is just as important as securing your systems.Cyber Threat Intelligence 101 by arcXis your entry point into one of the most dynamic, high-impact domains in cybersecurity. Whether you’re aiming for a career in CTI, looking to sharpen your cyber defence skills, or simply fascinated by how modern threat actors operate, this course is built for you.

You’ll explore the foundational elements of CTI, learning how intelligence is used to anticipate, detect, and neutralise cyber threats before they cause damage. This isn’t just theory—this is real-world knowledge designed to help you understand thewhybehind thehowof cyber defence.

Through expert-led lessons, practical examples, and guided insights, you’ll discover:

What cyber threat intelligence is, and why it’s critical in defending against modern attacks

The different types of threat actors, from nation-states to script kiddies, and what drives them

Common threat vectors and vulnerability typesused in real-world incidents

The intelligence lifecycle, from direction and collection to analysis and dissemination

How CTI supports decision-making, enhances security posture, and reduces risk

And much more…

No prior CTI or cybersecurity experience? No problem. This course is designed to be beginner-friendly while still providing value to professionals looking to expand their threat intelligence skillset.

By the end of this course, you’ll not only know what threat intelligence is—you’ll understand how to apply it, how to think like an attacker, and how to contribute to stronger, smarter cyber defences. Whether you're starting your journey or levelling up, this is your first step into the CTI landscape.

Who this course is for:
- Aspiring cybersecurity professionals looking to break into threat intelligence roles.
