Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) for Non-Specialists Course

Cyber threats are no longer the exclusive concern of IT departments—they affect every level of business. From phishing emails and ransomware to competitor-driven intelligence gathering, organisations of all sizes face risks that can disrupt operations and damage reputations. Our Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) for Non-Specialists course bridges the gap between technical experts and business professionals, equipping delegates with the knowledge and frameworks to understand threats, interpret intelligence, and make informed security decisions.

About the course

Course overview.

Delivered in clear, jargon-free language, this one-day programme introduces participants to the fundamentals of CTI, including how threat actors operate, where cyber risks emerge, and how intelligence is collected and applied. Case studies and interactive exercises ensure that even those without a technical background leave with practical skills to identify vulnerabilities, ask the right questions, and strengthen their organisation's resilience against attacks.

Who it's for.

This course is designed for managers, team leaders, compliance officers, HR professionals, business owners, and non-technical staff who want to understand cyber threats without needing a deep technical background. It is especially valuable for SMEs, decision-makers, and professionals who are responsible for policies, processes, or handling sensitive information.

What you'll learn.

01

Module 1: Understanding the Cyber Threat Landscape

This module introduces the range of modern cyber threats—from phishing and social engineering to advanced persistent threats—and explains how these impact organisations of all sizes. Participants will learn the language of CTI and gain the ability to interpret threat reports with confidence.

02

Module 2: How Threat Actors Operate

Here, delegates explore the motivations, tactics, and techniques of cybercriminals, hacktivists, and state-sponsored actors. By understanding how attackers gather information and exploit weaknesses, participants will be better equipped to spot potential risks within their own organisations.

03

Module 3: Applying CTI in a Business Context

The final module shows how to use cyber threat intelligence to strengthen resilience and decision-making. Participants will learn how to ask the right questions of technical teams, incorporate CTI into risk assessments, and develop policies that reduce exposure. Real-world case studies demonstrate how informed non-specialists can play a critical role in defending their organisation.
