summary
Introduces the Mandiant Cyber Threat Intelligence Analyst Core Competencies Framework that enumerates skills and maps roles to strategic, operational, and tactical support, with a published Excel scorecard and hiring scorecard for recruiters. Uses the OODA loop to justify CTI value, demonstrates a hunt package for APT-28 and recommends concrete practices—liaisons per stakeholder, SLAs, workflow diagrams, and sitting with patch teams—to cut dwell time and improve adversary emulation. Framework centers on four pillars: Problem Solving, Professional Effectiveness, Technical Literacy, Cyber Threat Proficiency.
