Tactical Red Team Operations

RED TEAM OPERATIONS

Online Training | Duration: 40H+ | Available Language: EN

Develop and improve red team operations for security controls in TRTO through adversary emulation, cutting-edge cyber threat intelligence, advanced red team tradecraft, and strategic engagement planning. Learn how to execute consistent and highly effective red team engagements that are focused on the effectiveness of the people, processes, and technology used to defend environments.

A rigorous red team operations training

In response to the escalating complexity and frequency of cyber threats, the need for tactical red team operations training (TRTO) has never been more critical. While penetration testing effectively identifies vulnerabilities, it often overlooks the human and procedural aspects of defense. This leaves organizations vulnerable and stuck in a cycle of merely patching vulnerabilities. Red teaming addresses this gap by simulating real-world attacks, providing invaluable insights into an organization's security posture.

A red team comprises skilled professionals emulating potential cyber threats, testing an enterprise's defenses comprehensively. Our TRTO course equips participants with advanced cyber threat intelligence, refined red team tradecraft, and strategic engagement planning. Through hands-on exercises, participants learn to execute impactful red team engagements, enhancing the effectiveness of defensive strategies across personnel, processes, and technology.

Simulate the most advanced and relevant attack scenarios

Unlock the secrets to orchestrating authentic red team operations with our comprehensive training. From consuming threat intelligence to crafting strategic attack plans and executing them flawlessly, our course empowers students to create impactful debrief packages for organizational benefit. Dive deep into cutting-edge tradecraft and stay ahead of the curve with the latest tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs). Experience unparalleled breadth and depth in red team knowledge—all under one roof.

Course Syllabus

Tactical red team operations structured into seven meticulously crafted sections, aligning with the Cyber Kill Chain Framework. Starting with foundational knowledge, we delve into the history, roles, objectives, legal considerations, and the essential tools and skills requisite for successful red teaming. Each section progressively advances through the stages of the Cyber Kill Chain, guiding you from laying the groundwork to executing sophisticated red team engagements.

What you will learn

TRTO focuses on developing red team operators capable of planning and executing effective red team engagement, that are focused on training and on measuring the effectiveness of the people, processes, and technology used to defend environments, and ultimately provide you with insights on how to improve organization's overall detections and security posture.

In TRTO, students will learn how to plan and execute end-to-end red teaming engagements that leverage adversary emulation, including the skills to organize a red team, consume threat intelligence to map against adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), emulate those TTPs, report and analyze the results of the red team engagement, and ultimately improve the overall security posture of the organization.

Throughout the course sections, students will be immersed in deeply technical red team tradecraft ranging from establishing advanced attack infrastructure to abusing Active Directory. Following initial access, students will thoroughly analyze each system, extract technical data, and then move laterally, escalating privileges, establishing persistence, collecting and exfiltrating highly sensitive data.

As an integral component of the course, students will perform an adversary emulation exercises against simulated enterprise environments. These exercises replicate real-world scenarios, encompassing attacks on various components such as Active Directory, email servers, file servers, and endpoints running in Windows.
