On-Demand Certification · Course Code: T71-CCIA-AI-15M# On-Demand AI-Infused Cyber Intelligence Tradecraft — Certified Cyber Intelligence Analyst (CCIA) On-Demand AI-Infused Cyber Intelligence Tradecraft Certification delivers 52 CPE hours across fifteen generative AI-enhanced modules. Learners follow a flexible sixteen-week guided path that blends instructor-led video, rolling live mentoring, and interactive darknet and analytic lab work. - 52 CPE Hours - 15 Modules - Sixteen-Week Guided Path - Meets International Association for Intelligence Education (IAFIE) Standards - ICD 203 & NICCS Aligned $5,399 · One-Time Purchase ## Built for Working Cyber Intelligence Professionals Flexible enrollment, corporate email validation, and rolling office hours give practitioners global access to study at a steady pace while receiving direct guidance from Treadstone 71 founder Jeff Bardin. ### Course Overview Participants sharpen OSINT, darknet collection, structured analytic techniques, cognitive bias mitigation, and AI-powered intelligence reporting. Each module anchors learning in repeatable methods that follow International Association for Intelligence Education (IAFIE) and Intelligence Community Directive (ICD) 203 standards. Learners move from raw collection and Priority Intelligence Requirements (PIRs) toward finished assessments that support leaders during high-pressure moments. Direct contact with Jeff Bardin and the Treadstone 71 tradecraft library keeps instruction grounded in real campaigns. Learners test analytic judgment in labs that mirror hostile activity from nation-state and transnational criminal actors. - OSINT Tradecraft - Darknet Collection - 66 Structured Analytic Techniques - Bias Mitigation - Generative AI Support - STEMPLES Plus - Certified Cyber Intelligence Analyst (CCIA) ## What Learners Gain ### Structured Intelligence Practice Learners plan collection, grade source reliability and information credibility under the ASA Evidence Standard, and write assessments that align with tested ICD 203 intelligence writing standards. ### Darknet and OSINT Reach Modules walk through safe entry points, sock puppet profile building, operational security (OPSEC), and forensic evidence capture across open and hidden sources. ### Bias-Aware Analysis Analysts apply systematic bias checks during every stage of reasoning and reinforce judgment with 66 Structured Analytic Techniques (SATs) across nine analytical families. ### AI-Assisted Reporting Generative AI supports structured decomposition, drafting, summarization, and alternative framing while sovereign tradecraft guardrails keep control in human hands. ### Live Mentoring Rolling office hours and live mentoring sessions with Jeff Bardin link course concepts to real cases from enterprise, defense, and counterintelligence operations. ### Recognized Certification Completion grants Certified Cyber Intelligence Analyst (CCIA) status and 52 CPE hours that validate tradecraft competency and support career progression. ## Module Structure and Learning Path Fifteen modules stack from tradecraft foundations through advanced cyber threat intelligence practice. Learners follow a clear sequence that links each skill to operational tasks inside real intelligence programs. ### Foundation · Tradecraft and Standards - Adaptive Cyber Intelligence Lifecycle for cyber programs - International Association for Intelligence Education (IAFIE) alignment - Collection planning and Priority Intelligence Requirements (PIRs) - Operational security (OPSEC) habits for long-running research ### OSINT and Darknet Collection - Safe collection on open sources and darknet markets - Persona building, Cultural Nexus alignment, and environment separation - Forensic evidence capture and case organization - Source vetting and credibility checks using the ASA Evidence Standard ### Structured Analytic Techniques - Hypothesis testing against technical telemetry and human data (Cyber-HUMINT) - Analysis of Competing Hypotheses (ACH) and red teaming of assessments - Indicators and Warnings (I&W) for state and criminal cyber campaigns - Link, anomaly, pattern, and trend analysis for intrusion sets and narratives ### Bias Mitigation and AI Support - Recognition of cognitive, cultural, and organizational bias patterns - Diagnostic checklists that anchor judgment during time pressure - Generative AI workflows for structured prompts, SAT execution, and drafts - Sovereign AI guardrails that protect sources, methods, and operational secrecy ### Reporting and Briefing Practice - Finished threat intelligence report structure, BLUF precision, and logical flow - Executive briefings, Sherman Kent probability language, and decision support - Analytical visuals and link charts that support reasoning rather than decoration - Review loops with instructors and peers to eliminate AI-scarred prose ### Capstone · Certified Cyber Intelligence Analyst (CCIA) - End-to-end intelligence case from collection plan through executive briefing - Written and oral assessment graded by Treadstone 71 instructors - Targeted feedback addressing analytical strengths and collection gaps - Formal CCIA certification decision and 52-hour CPE documentation ## Enrollment, Pricing, and Support Flexible enrollment periods and corporate email validation keep the program focused on serious practitioners. Rolling office hours and mentoring sessions let learners reach instructors without schedule shock across global time zones. ### One-Time Course Investment $5,399 Includes all fifteen modules, interactive labs, live mentoring sessions, capstone certification assessment, and 52 hours of verifiable CPE credit.

Familiarity with basic networking and security concepts supports faster advancement. ### Time Commitment A weekly block of five to eight hours supports steady progress through video lessons, darknet labs, and analytic writing exercises over sixteen weeks. ### Assessment Approach Short checks for understanding follow each module. A structured capstone, ICD 203 written assessment, and oral briefing exercise guide the final CCIA certification decision. ### Support From Treadstone 71 Learners join live sessions where Treadstone 71 shares operational lessons from over 40 years in military, national security, and cyber intelligence, answering questions on tradecraft, careers, and program design. **Threat intelligence teams that move beyond raw indicators to disciplined analysis gain decisive advantage.** On-Demand AI-Infused Cyber Intelligence Tradecraft Certification builds that advantage step by step, from first collection plan through final executive briefing. ## Reference Doctrine & Open Standards ### The T71 Standard: Core Intelligence & Cognitive Warfare Definitions The Adversary Index (TAI) Treadstone 71's quarterly strategic intelligence scoring system that quantitatively evaluates nation-state and non-state adversaries across intent, capability, cyber operations, cognitive warfare, and counterintelligence dimensions. The ASA Evidence Standard (Public Edition 1.2) An open intelligence evidence-grading standard (DOI: [10.5281/zenodo.23137881](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.23137881)) that grades source reliability (A to F) and information credibility (1 to 6) without averaging axes, paired with structured deception and endgame confidence scoring. ASA Measurement of Effect (ASA-MOE) An open verification standard for auditing information operations and cognitive warfare effectiveness by separating vanity engagement metrics from verified behavioral and decision-making shifts.STEMPLES Plus Framework A proprietary Treadstone 71 intelligence framework that deconstructs an adversary's total operating environment across Social, Technical, Economic, Military, Political, Legal, Environmental, Security, Cultural, and Organizational dimensions.Reflexive Control & Cognitive Warfare A psychological tradecraft method, rooted in Russian and Iranian doctrine, in which an adversary supplies specially prepared information to incline a target toward a predetermined decision that feels independently chosen.Adaptive Cyber Intelligence Lifecycle A foresight-driven intelligence lifecycle built for adversary disruption, integrating Priority Intelligence Requirements (PIRs), 66 Structured Analytic Techniques (SATs), and ICD 203 estimative rigor. ```json { "@context": "http:\/\/schema.org", "@graph": [ { "@type": "Article", "author": { "@type": "Person", "@id": "https:\/\/www.treadstone71.com\/#person-jeffbardin", "name": "Jeff Bardin", "url": "https:\/\/www.treadstone71.com\/jeff-bardin" }, "dateModified": "2026-11-11T16:25:05Z", "datePublished": "2025-05-21T16:50:53Z", "description": "On-demand cyber intelligence tradecraft certification, updated with generative AI.
