Red Team Specialization

Master offensive security techniques and become an expert penetration tester. Learn to think like an attacker to better defend against real-world threats.

What is Red Teaming?

Red teaming is an adversarial approach to security testing that simulates real-world attack scenarios. Red teamers use the same tools, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) as actual attackers to identify vulnerabilities and test defensive capabilities.

This specialization covers everything from basic reconnaissance to advanced exploitation techniques, preparing you for real-world penetration testing and security assessment roles.
