About the Cyber Threat Analyst
The PECB Certified Cyber Threat Analyst (CCTA) programme teaches you to hunt for and analyse cyber threats before they cause harm. Delivered fully self-paced and online, it covers threat-hunting frameworks and the full cycle of a threat-hunting programme — preparing and executing hunts, analysing what you find, and turning that knowledge into stronger defences.
You’ll learn to run a proactive threat-hunting capability, tie it into incident management, and build a security culture that keeps improving. It suits analysts and SOC professionals who want to move from reactive monitoring to proactive threat hunting.

What Our Learners Say
I'd been putting off Cyber Threat Analyst certification for a while, but the self-paced format made it manageable alongside a full-time job. Learning to strengthen our information security posture felt achievable within a few weeks.
Great value for the depth of content. The Cyber Threat Analyst training covered CTI certification thoroughly, and the exam voucher being included made budgeting for it simple.
I compared a few providers before choosing Profice for my Cyber Threat Analyst certification, and I'm glad I did. The materials on CTI certification were current and the support team answered every question quickly.
This course sharpened skills I already had and filled in the gaps around CTI certification. My manager noticed the difference within a month of me completing the Cyber Threat Analyst certification.
The pacing suited a busy schedule, and the focus on CTI certification meant I could start applying what I learned before I'd even finished the course.
