Capability Outcomes
What CounterIntelligence Stack Graduates Can Do
The CounterIntelligence Stack produces a working CI operator — someone who can simultaneously detect what an adversary is doing and conduct defensive deception, persona work, and influence operations where authorized. Six core capability outcomes:
Identify Insider Threats
Forensic interview and elicitation techniques — test claims under pressure, probe for inconsistencies, force impostors off-script. Apply Dark Triad and behavioral pathology screening to detect leadership-level risk before it materializes.
Profile Adversary Psychology
Big 5 (OCEAN) personality profiling, Myers-Briggs destructive modes under pressure, and Dark Triad / Pitch-Black Tetrad behavioral analysis — applied to insider threat assessment, social engineering defense, and adversary HUMINT.
Construct Personae & OPSEC
Persona development, infrastructure hygiene, attribution defense, and anonymous browsing tradecraft for safe passive collection against targets. Operational security for sustained CI engagement.
Plan and Execute Deception
Construct deception operations tradecraft — denial, misdirection, dirty tricks, and cyber PSYOPs — applied to defensive and authorized offensive use cases. Cialdini's influence taxonomy as the underlying behavioral framework.
Target Adversary Capability
Adversary capability and intent modeling. Map what an adversary can do, what they want to do, and what we can do about it — across cyber, narrative, and HUMINT vectors.
Apply CI Doctrine to Cyber
The FBI Counterintelligence Program (Cointelpro) historical doctrine applied to modern cyber psyops — what worked, what failed, and what the lessons mean for cyber CI today.
11 Courses, One Enrollment
Bundle Components — CCIAI Certification Plus 10 Specialty Modules
The CounterIntelligence Stack groups courses across three functional bands: the CCIAI certification anchor, behavioral and psychological profiling modules, and tradecraft modules covering personas, deception, and influence operations. Individual prices shown for transparency — bundle delivers all eleven for $3,999 ($2,350 savings vs purchasing individually).
The certification anchor of the stack. Adversarial deception detection, disinformation strategies, and counterintelligence operations with AI-infused tradecraft exercises throughout. Self-paced sprint structure.
Forensic interview techniques. Test claims under pressure, probe for inconsistencies, and force impostors off-script. Video calls become forensic tests. The largest specialty module in the stack.
Ensuring operational security when using personae to passively collect on your targets. Persona construction, infrastructure hygiene, attribution defense, and anonymous browsing tradecraft.
Create models on your adversary — their capabilities, intent, and motivations. The targeting framework that drives both defensive CI prioritization and offensive operations planning.
OCEAN personality dimensions — Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Neuroticism. Recognize traits at speed, understand maladaptive modes, and detect manipulation patterns.
The MBTI framework applied to understanding and influencing adversary personas under operational stress and destructive behavior patterns. How adversaries break under pressure.
Denial and deception tradecraft for the cyber cognitive warfighter. Plan deception operations with operational rigor and defensible effects. Ethical framing, structured methodology.
Machiavellianism, narcissism, psychopathy extended with schadenfreude. Insider threat psychology, leadership pathology — researchers have linked these traits with C-suite over-representation, with some estimates of clinically significant psychopathic traits as high as 20%.
CounterIntelligence and deception — dirty tricks used online for influence and disruption. Practical methods with ethical framing. What adversaries actually do, recognized so it can be countered.
The seven principles of influence — reciprocity, scarcity, authority, commitment / consistency, liking, social proof, and unity — applied to cyber influence operations and the cognitive warfighter discipline.
Applying cyber to the FBI Counterintelligence Program (Cointelpro). Historical CI doctrine — what worked, what failed, what the lessons mean for modern cyber psyops and CI operations.

The Analyst Stack ($6,999, 10 courses) builds foundational day-one analyst capability with CCIA certification anchor — the disciplined intelligence lifecycle from stakeholder requirements through estimative reporting. The CounterIntelligence Stack ($3,999, 11 courses) is specifically defensive and offensive CI tradecraft anchored by the CCIAI certification — deception, insider threat, personas / OPSEC, influence operations, behavioral analysis. The two stacks are complementary: many practitioners take the Analyst Stack first to build foundations, then this stack to specialize. Alumni of either receive 15% off the next when enrolled within 90 days.
Treadstone 71 is listed in the CISA NICCS training catalog as a recognized cybersecurity workforce development provider, and the courses included in The CounterIntelligence Stack are part of that recognized catalog. Training is also IAFIE-aligned and follows PHIA standards language.
Treadstone 71 is a veteran-owned, woman-led cyber intelligence firm operational since 2002, codifying CIA and DIA-style intelligence tradecraft for the cyber domain. The firm's foundational capability rests on a rare synthesis of United States Air Force cryptologic linguistics (Arabic and Russian), United States Army armored reconnaissance, academic study of Middle Eastern and Russian history, language, and political systems at Trinity College, Middlebury College, and Colgate University, and direct in-country immersion in Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia during the formative years of the modern jihadist movement (1988–89). A Master of Science in Information Assurance from Norwich University extends the field tradecraft into enterprise-scale risk management. The aggregate methodology has been continuously refined across four continents of operational engagement.
Treadstone 71 was honored with the 2007 RSA Conference Award for Excellence in the Field of Security Practices and the 2007 SC Magazine Award for Best Security Team. Operational engagements span clandestine cyber HUMINT, real-time OSINT support to the Boston FBI following the 2013 Marathon bombing, FBI special-agent OSINT instruction, and senior-leader briefings at NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence (CyCon, Estonia), the United States Naval Academy, the Air Force Institute of Technology, and Johns Hopkins. From 2009 to 2014, Treadstone 71 codified field-tested clandestine cyber tradecraft into the first master's-level cyber intelligence curriculum, established at Utica College. The Cyber Intel Training Center is the operational continuation of that curriculum — IAFIE-aligned, PHIA-standards-compliant, and listed in the CISA NICCS cybersecurity workforce development catalog.
