The GCTI exam leads to the Cyber Threat Intelligence certification, a Professional-level credential from GIAC. It validates the skills measured by the GIAC Cyber Threat Intelligence syllabus and is a recognized step for IT professionals building their careers, and it sits alongside related credentials such as GIAC Security Essentials (GSEC), GIAC Certified Incident Handler (GCIH), GIAC Certified Forensic Analyst (GCFA).
The GIAC Cyber Threat Intelligence exam includes 82 questions and gives you 180 minutes to complete them. That works out to a fairly tight pace, so reading each question carefully but decisively matters more than perfectionism. If a question stalls you, flag it and move on; banking the easier points first keeps time pressure from snowballing near the end. Before test day, run at least one full timed session with the Actualtests4sure practice test so the rhythm feels familiar rather than rushed.
You need 71% to pass the GCTI exam, and the official registration fee is $999 USD. Keep in mind that a failed attempt means paying the full fee again to retake the exam, so it pays to be honest with yourself before booking a seat. A practical benchmark: work through the 166 practice questions at Actualtests4sure until you can score comfortably above the passing line in timed mode, then schedule your exam.
No formal prerequisites; recommended experience in cybersecurity, analysis, incident response or threat intelligence roles Because GIAC may adjust its policies over time, we recommend confirming the latest requirements on the official exam page (official exam page) before you register.
