Programme
Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) has become a key element and tool of digital information security in recent years. Initially developed as a field of activity mainly within governments and cybersecurity companies, its multidisciplinarity soon made it a fast-growing activity within the public sector, the non-governmental organisation sector, but above all throughout the private economic and industrial sectors. CTI turns its gaze to what is happening outside its own corporate world (and network), and brings an operational and strategic understanding that is of fundamental importance in understanding threats and in anticipating them.
Organizations today operate a complex interconnected landscape of traditional IT, IoT, and OT infrastructure to provide communication, access to resources, and interaction with the physical world. Employees are in the office, on the road, and working from home. They use office desktops, VDIs, mobile devices, and personal (BYOD) equipment. IT and information assets are on-premises, in the cloud, and out-sourced to third parties. IoT and OT devices are expanding the traditional IT landscape to include smart buildings and environments, and various Internet enabled gadgets.
This infrastructure is under constant threat of cyber-attack, both targeted and opportunistic. Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) helps protect organizations by gathering, analysing, and disseminating information about threat actors, new vulnerabilities, and increasing risks to this infrastructure. The CAS CTI prepares you for an exciting career working in a CTI function as a Cyber Threat Intelligence Analyst.
