Initializing Secure Environment
The Cyber Threat Intelligence Council is a UK-registered professional body dedicated to advancing structured, ethical, and evidence-based cybersecurity practice worldwide.
CTIC was established in the United Kingdom with a clear mission: to create a credible, governance-driven framework that validates real-world competency in cyber threat intelligence and security operations.
Too many professionals enter the cybersecurity workforce without standardised benchmarks to measure their skills against. CTIC was founded to change that — by defining what excellence looks like, and creating pathways to achieve it.
Headquartered in the UK and aligned with NCSC guidelines, our programmes are designed to meet the rigorous standards expected by government bodies, defence agencies, and enterprise security teams globally.
CTIC is a UK-registered organisation, committed to upholding the standards of transparency, governance, and accountability that define professional bodies operating in the United Kingdom.
Our operations and examination practices are designed in alignment with NCSC guidelines and UK data protection law (UK GDPR / Data Protection Act 2018).
Our leadership team brings together decades of experience across intelligence analysis, cybersecurity operations, professional education, and corporate governance.
