The Certified Counterintelligence Cyber Threat Technical Analyst – Level III (CCTTA-III) certification is designed for seasoned cyber threat professionals who specialize in analyzing, identifying, and mitigating advanced persistent threats (APTs) within both government and private sector environments.
This course is ideal for individuals seeking to deepen their skills in threat intelligence, adversary attribution, and counterintelligence support to cyber operations.
CCTTA-III provides advanced training in cyber threat technical analysis, bridging the gap between cyber operations and national-level counterintelligence missions. Professionals who complete this program are equipped to assess sophisticated threats, provide strategic recommendations, and support threat hunting operations at the highest levels.
The CCTTA-III course is structured in a modular format, allowing learners to build skills incrementally. Each module focuses on a critical area of cyber threat technical analysis, designed to enhance practical understanding and operational effectiveness.
Module 1: Advanced Threat Actor Profiling
This module focuses on the profiling of nation-state and non-state cyber threat actors. Students will learn to assess tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), motivations, historical activity, and attribution techniques. Emphasis is placed on using frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK to map adversary behaviors.
Module 2: Cyber Threat Intelligence Fusion
Learners will gain experience in fusing raw data from cyber sensors, HUMINT, SIGINT, and OSINT sources. This module teaches how to synthesize diverse intelligence streams into actionable reports that support decision-makers and cyber defense operations.
Module 3: Malware and Exploit Analysis for CI
Students will conduct technical analysis of malware samples and exploits used by advanced adversaries. The focus is on understanding malware functionality, command and control (C2) patterns, and reverse engineering fundamentals within the context of counterintelligence operations.
Module 4: Insider Threat Detection and Analysis
This module explores methods to detect and analyze insider threats from a technical and behavioral standpoint. Case studies demonstrate how to identify indicators of compromise linked to internal actors, and how counterintelligence practices are applied to mitigate internal risks.
Module 5: Adversary Infrastructure Tracking
Participants learn techniques for tracking adversary infrastructure such as domains, IP addresses, VPNs, and proxy chains. This module emphasizes infrastructure chaining, bulletproof hosting identification, and long-term tracking of persistent threat actors.
Module 6: Threat Landscape and Strategic Reporting
In the final module, analysts are trained to produce strategic-level threat assessments that inform policy, procurement, and national security decisions. Students will practice writing high-value reports tailored to executive audiences and operational planners.
The CCTTA-III certification is a premier qualification for cyber threat professionals supporting national defense and critical infrastructure. Completing this advanced training positions analysts to play a pivotal role in the fight against complex, evolving cyber threats.
