What icttf does

ICTTF (International Cyber Threat Task Force) is a not-for-profit cyber security education and community organization founded in 2010 and headquartered in Tuam, Co. Galway, Ireland (ICTTF Ltd, Irish company registration 567446). It operates the EU Cyber Academy, a unified online learning platform built on LearnWorlds LMS, delivering accredited cyber risk and regulatory compliance certifications and private training to boards, non-executive directors, CISOs, risk leaders and compliance professionals across financial services, critical infrastructure, healthcare, telecoms and the public sector. The catalogue centres on board-level and practitioner credentials aligned to the EU regulatory stack: Certified Digital Operational Resilience Officer (CDORO), DORA Certified Compliance Specialist (DCCS), Certified DORA Board Member Credit Union (CDBM-CU), Certified NIS2 Professional (CN2P), NIST Cyber Security Expert (NCSE), Certified Cyber Risk Officer (CCRO), Certified CyFun Professional (CCFP), Certified Information Security Governance Professional (CISGP, ISO/IEC 27001) and Certified AI Resilience Professional (CAIRP, EU AI Act).

The technology stack combines the LearnWorlds-based EU Cyber Academy platform with proprietary branded assets: the CyFun 2025 cybersecurity fundamentals framework (aligned to NIS2 maturity assessments), the CyberPrism Digital Resilience Platform used in implementation labs, and two domain-specialized generative AI tools — DORAGPT (DORA regulatory guidance, enterprise-licensed with API access) and NCSEGPT (NIST CSF 2.0 interactive learning). Courses are delivered as self-paced online modules with live tutor sessions, recorded sessions on demand, MCQ plus written exams, and CPD accreditation; several credentials carry dual certification with the International Compliance Association (ICA). Bespoke closed-cohort private training programmes are delivered in-person, virtually or hybrid across Ireland, the UK, the EU and internationally.

ICTTF generates revenue across five streams: individual course sales (€499-€2,499 per course on 60-90 day access), bespoke private training engagements with enterprises, the EU Cyber Academy Live annual subscription, delegate and VIP passes for the annual European Digital Governance Summit (EDGS) and EU Cyber Summit events, and subscription-based DORAGPT enterprise licensing. Distribution is omnichannel — self-serve online enrollment, direct enterprise sales, the DORA Centre of Excellence partner ecosystem, and a reseller partnership with the Irish League of Credit Unions via CULearn.ie. Since 2010, the organization has trained more than 23,000 professionals from 60+ leading global organizations and built a community of 30,000+ members.

Direct peers

• SANS Institute: Practitioner-led cybersecurity training and GIAC certifications; the dominant incumbent in advanced cybersecurity courses with a similarly practitioner-instructed, certification-anchored model aimed at working professionals and security teams.
• EC-Council: Cybersecurity certification body behind CEH and CHFI; targets the same professional training audience via online and instructor-led courses and competes for the same enterprise training budgets.
• OffSec (Offensive Security): Hands-on cybersecurity training and certifications (OSCP, OSWE); overlaps on technical and operational cybersecurity practitioner training sold to enterprises and individuals.
• Cybrary: Subscription-based online cybersecurity training platform serving practitioners and teams; overlaps with ICTTF's EU Cyber Academy on self-paced, video-led cyber risk and compliance content.

Broad incumbents

• ISACA: Global association issuing CISA, CISM, CRISC, CGEIT and CDPSE certifications with a heavy focus on cyber risk, GRC and audit - directly overlapping ICTTF's CISOs/Risk Leaders and compliance segments.
• ISC2: Global cybersecurity certifying body behind CISSP and CCSP. Operates at a much larger scale across the full cybersecurity profession and competes with ICTTF for the same board and risk officer credentialing audience.
• Skillsoft: Large-scale corporate compliance, leadership and technology training provider with a cybersecurity and GRC catalogue; competes for the same enterprise compliance training budgets including regulated financial services.
• Pluralsight: Enterprise technology skills platform with deep security and cloud tracks; competes for the same enterprise team-based training budgets via subscription and skill assessments.

Regional players
