Certified Threat Intelligence Analyst (CTIA) — Question 64
An analyst is conducting threat intelligence analysis in a client organization, and during the information gathering process, he gathered information from the publicly available sources and analyzed to obtain a rich useful form of intelligence. The information source that he used is primarily used for national security, law enforcement, and for collecting intelligence required for business or strategic decision making.
Which of the following sources of intelligence did the analyst use to collect information?
Answer options
- A. OPSEC
- B. ISAC
- C. OSINT
- D. SIGINT
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) because it involves gathering data from publicly available sources, which aligns with the scenario described. OPSEC (Operational Security) focuses on protecting sensitive information, ISAC (Information Sharing and Analysis Center) is related to sharing critical infrastructure information, and SIGINT (Signals Intelligence) deals with intercepted communications, none of which fit the context given.
