MCTIA — Mandiant Cyber Threat Intelligence Analysis
Mandiant Academy's (Google Cloud) standalone CTI analyst certification — a genuine, separately proctored exam, not a course-completion badge. Up to 50 MCQ delivered via Kryterion online live proctoring, 60-minute window, 70% pass threshold. $250 per attempt, must be completed within 90 days of purchase. 3-year renewal requiring 90 CPEs plus a $175 maintenance fee, or retaking the exam. Objectives are mapped to NIST/NICE work role AN-ASA-001 (All-Source Analyst) covering intelligence production, threat actor profiling, TTP analysis, IOC reporting, and cognitive bias awareness. ISO/IEC 17024-aligned per vendor claim — development followed the standard but no public ANAB accreditation listing exists. Not DoD 8140 approved despite DCWF work-role alignment. Strong brand recognition in the CTI community given Mandiant's reputation as the industry's leading threat intelligence firm.
