Certified Cyber Threat Analyst (CCTA) (PECB)

Certified Cyber Threat Analyst (CCTA) (PECB) develops practical capability to perform structured cyber threat analysis, intelligence production, hunting, prioritization, and operational communication. The four-lesson path moves from core principles and governance into applied controls, evidence, exceptions, and accountable improvement.

Applied work is based on a security operations team investigating coordinated phishing, credential abuse, malware, and cloud persistence. Learners create threat intelligence requirements plan, actor and campaign analysis dossier, threat-hunting evidence workbook, and actionable intelligence report, while testing decisions against realistic operational constraints.

By completion, participants can interpret the subject, perform the relevant workflow, evaluate evidence, communicate supported conclusions, and hand over prioritized actions with clear ownership and follow-up.

What You Will Learn

• Explain intelligence requirements and collection priorities; analytically connect it to mission-focused threat analysis.
• Map source reliability and information credibility; analytically record evidence for balanced analytic confidence.
• Evaluate adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures; analytically test criteria supporting meaningful behavioural understanding.
• Apply indicators and contextual enrichment; analytically create evidence for higher-value detection decisions.
• Identify gaps in threat-hunting hypotheses and evidence; analytically protect repeatable investigative activity.
• Document campaign relationships and attack progression; analytically link decisions to coherent adversary narratives.
• Resolve intelligence reports and audience needs scenarios; analytically choose controls for timely operational action.
• Present feedback and analytic quality controls findings; analytically prioritize continually improving intelligence.

SkillDynamo Training Approach

Delivery uses practical demonstrations, role-based exercises, case decisions, evidence validation, peer review, troubleshooting guidance, and a prioritized closing action plan. Activities are tailored to Certified Cyber Threat Analyst (CCTA) (PECB) and its operational setting.
