This is a live instructor-led training that focuses on developing cyber weapons that can evade AV detection, EDR logs, and forensics traces like how advanced targeted attacks do, and provide you with insights on how to improve your organization’s overall detections and security posture

Advanced Red Teaming: Weaponization & Adversary Simulation is a hands-on offensive training that focuses on helping organizations battle against ever-growing targeted attacks and ransomware attacks by simulating their adversaries and putting your defenses and your blue team at test to improve the organization security posture.

This training focuses on developing cyber weapons that can evade AV detection, EDR logs, and forensics traces like how advanced targeted attacks do, and provide you with insights on how to improve your organization’s overall detections and security posture

What previous students said about this training: “Outstanding training, worth its weight in gold. Content: Up-to-date and very very impressive. Delivery: Very well delivered, Amr put his heart and soul into it and was very helpful. Great human being. Much appreciated.” by John Johnes

“This is one of the best trainings I’ve attended. I couldn’t be happier with my decision to take this training.” by Adebayo

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

• Simulate a real APT Attack given its TTPs.
• Build your own malware to test their defenses (or clients’ defenses) against completely new malware.
• Build your own Red Team infrastructure in AWS and secure it from being detected or blocked by the company’s security team.
• Learn not just the techniques and how to use them, but how each technique works internally and how you can develop your own version of it.

DURATION:

3 Days

This training is fully up-to-date and advanced training. I have made it live once last year and the feedback was impressive. I just added 2 testimonials here but if you want more testimonials from the students or a sample from the slides let me know.

And currently, red teaming is a new topic and a hot topic in the offensive market.
