CTI 346: Structured Analytic Techniques for Cyber Analysts is a one-day, two-credit instructor-led course that introduces five core categories of structured analysis and teaches analysts to use scientifically derived tools to reduce bias and enhance intelligence accuracy. Building on CTI 330, it covers organizing tools like timelines and link charts, imaginative thinking methods such as red team and alternative futures analysis, and diagnostic techniques including key assumption checks and competing hypotheses. Students also learn decision-making and contrarian approaches like devil’s advocacy. Hands-on exercises reinforce the application of these tools to unstructured data.
