Certified Cyber TECHINT Operator CCTO Certification Program by Tonex
This program prepares practitioners to plan, execute, and defend cyber-enabled technical intelligence missions across enterprise and contested networks. Participants learn to collect from endpoints, protocols, and binaries while preserving evidentiary integrity and operational security. You will apply analytic methods to network telemetry, protocol behaviors, and malware artifacts to derive actionable technical intelligence for decision makers.
The curriculum emphasizes attribution support, counter-collection, and adversary tradecraft mapping so teams can outpace evolving threats. The cybersecurity impact is direct and measurable as graduates reduce dwell time, harden collection surfaces, and disrupt hostile reconnaissance. Organizations gain stronger cybersecurity posture through disciplined TECHINT processes that transform raw technical signals into timely insights for operations and defense.
