Certified Threat Intelligence Analyst (CTIA) — Question 21

ABC is a well-established cyber-security company in the United States. The organization implemented the automation of tasks such as data enrichment and indicator aggregation. They also joined various communities to increase their knowledge about the emerging threats. However, the security teams can only detect and prevent identified threats in a reactive approach.
Based on threat intelligence maturity model, identify the level of ABC to know the stage at which the organization stands with its security and vulnerabilities.

Answer options

• A. Level 2: increasing CTI capabilities
• B. Level 3: CTI program in place
• C. Level 1: preparing for CTI
• D. Level 0: vague where to start

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because ABC has taken steps to enhance its capabilities through automation and community involvement, indicating they are beyond the initial stages of threat intelligence. Level 3 would imply a fully established program, which ABC does not possess since they still react to threats. Level 1 suggests they are merely preparing for CTI, and Level 0 indicates uncertainty, which does not apply to ABC's proactive measures.
