Overview
Red Team operations is a necessary part of modern security exercises. This exercise means the simulation of a real APT attack on the company. BI.ZONE regularly takes part in investigations of real hacker attacks with different attacker motivations - from hacktivism to state actor. Also, BI.ZONE specialists have successfully accomplished many projects in this field that gave a lot of experience depending on the region, infrastructure design and maturity of the client company.
During this course, our specialists will explain the complex chain of Red Team operations. BI.ZONE specialists will demonstrate and explain the different approaches of every stage. As an example, initial access can be performed by vishing, road apple, phishing, using malware payload or fake website and 2nd factor bypass. BI.ZONE specialists have unique techniques and knowledge that will be revealed during this course.
