About This Course

As the fifth and final class in our roster, the Red Team Master Operator Course is our most challenging one yet. Once students have successfully completed their Red Team Journeyman exam, they can move onto this final level.

Red Team Master Operators are experts in Red Team tools, techniques, and tradecraft. To become a Red Team Master operator, students must first certify in any two of our available Cybersecurity Specialization Courses. These courses cover everything from network exploitation to reverse engineering and malware analysis, offensive forensics and hunting, and web application exploitation.

Next, prospective Red Team Operators will enroll in a one-week culmination course that includes a variety of cyber-attack scenarios, a two-day hands on exam, and a technical board with three existing master operators.
