Episode 20 — Exam Acronyms: quick audio reference you’ll reuse
The field of threat intelligence is saturated with complex acronyms that serve as a shorthand for critical technical concepts, frameworks, and protocols. This episode provides a rapid-fire audio reference for the most essential GCTI acronyms, from foundational models like the ACH (Analysis of Competing Hypotheses) and the TTPs (Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures) to technical standards like STIX, TAXII, and CybOX. We explain the meaning and the exam-day relevance of each term, helping you to internalize the vocabulary of a cybersecurity expert. Understanding the difference between an IOC (Indicator of Compromise) and an IOA (Indicator of Attack) is vital for selecting the correct answers in a high-pressure testing environment. Listeners are encouraged to use this episode as a recurring "refresher" to build the linguistic fluency required to communicate clearly with peers and stakeholders. Mastering these acronyms ensures that you won't be slowed down by technical jargon when time is of the essence during the certification assessment.
