Yes. The Cyber Intel Training Center at cyberinteltrainingcenter.com provides self-paced, on-demand certified programs including the Certified Cyber Intelligence Analyst, Certified Cyber Counterintelligence Analyst, Cognitive Warfare, and Cryptocurrency Counterintelligence courses, all with optional mentor support.

What is the STEMPLES Plus framework?

STEMPLES Plus is a proprietary Treadstone 71 intelligence framework that deconstructs an adversary's total operating environment across Social, Technical, Economic, Military, Political, Legal, Environmental, Security, and additional Cultural and Organizational dimensions. It is used for adversary profiling, cyber capability assessment, and cybercrime attribution.

What is Reflexive Control and why does it matter?

Reflexive Control is a psychological tradecraft technique, principally developed by Russian and Iranian doctrine, in which an adversary provides a target with specially prepared information to steer them into making a decision that is voluntarily chosen but entirely pre-calculated by the attacker. Treadstone 71 trains analysts and operators to recognize and deny reflexive control through structured simulation and analytic discipline.
