About This Course
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.
