Frequently asked questions
Is CTIA for beginners?
It’s best after some SOC or security experience. If you’re brand new, start with CSA or CEH.
How is CTIA different from CSA?
CSA trains you to handle alerts in a SOC. CTIA trains you to understand who is attacking, how and why, and to feed that back into defences.
Is the exam long?
No. It’s 50 multiple-choice questions in 2 hours.
Is VAT included in the price?
No. All our UAE prices exclude 5% UAE VAT, which is added to your invoice.
