Course Overview
Red Team Bootcamp (Adversary Tradecraft Foundations) is designed to introduce learners to the mindset and workflow behind adversary emulation. Rather than focusing on isolated techniques, you will learn how to plan, execute, and document red team-style activity with clear objectives, strict scope control, and professionalism.
Delivered via mentor-led sessions, the bootcamp uses practical scenarios that mirror controlled engagements: defining an objective, selecting a route, maintaining operational discipline, and capturing evidence that supports meaningful reporting. All hands-on work is carried out in safe lab environments, with clear boundaries and responsible conduct.
Over four intensive days, you will build a repeatable tradecraft foundation and produce a structured “engagement pack” demonstrating your approach. Aligned with recognised best practices including ISO, GDPR, NIST and SOC 2, ensuring skills remain practical and deployable in real organisations. All prices are exclusive of VAT (where applicable). Group enrolments and custom packages available.
