Learn Red Team operations through adversary emulation and threat intelligence-driven engagements. Covers C2 infrastructure, initial access, persistence, operational security, and tradecraft for simulating advanced threat actors against defended enterprise environments.
Overview
Simulate advanced adversaries through red team operations that test organizational detection and response capabilities. Move beyond penetration testing to full adversary emulation that exercises people, processes, and technology.
Red teaming differs fundamentally from penetration testing. SEC565 teaches the tradecraft required to emulate sophisticated threat actors, testing not just whether you can break in, but whether defenders can detect and respond.
Execute professional red team operations:
Planning and Infrastructure
- Design operations matching specific threat actor TTPs
- Build resilient command and control infrastructure
- Establish secure communication channels
- Create realistic pretexts and social engineering campaigns
Initial Access and Persistence
- Bypass email security and endpoint protection
- Establish multiple persistence mechanisms
- Evade detection while maintaining access
- Prepare for long-term operations
Operational Security and Tradecraft
- Minimize forensic footprint
- Blend with normal network traffic
- Avoid common detection signatures
- Clean up artifacts post-operation
Use industry-standard C2 frameworks including Cobalt Strike. Understand defender capabilities so you can realistically assess organizational security maturity.
The course culminates in a team-based red team exercise against a fully defended enterprise environment with active blue team opposition.
Earn GIAC GRTP certification (exam sold separately). 36 CPE credits across 6 intensive days.
Highlights
- Plan and execute Red Team engagements: Leverage cyber threat intelligence, emulate adversary TTPs using MITRE ATT&CK, build resilient C2 infrastructure, and apply operational security tradecraft.
- 30 hands-on labs: C2 framework deployment, payload crafting, enterprise domain enumeration, database attacks, and a full-spectrum team-based engagement against a defended environment with active blue team opposition.
- Prepares for GIAC GRTP certification. Built for pen testers transitioning to Red Team and operators conducting adversary emulation engagements. 6 days, 36 CPEs.

Dimensions summary
This listing offers one pricing dimension: a per-seat license for the SEC565 red team operations and adversary emulation course. You buy access by the seat, with each seat covering one student. Pricing scales with the number of seats you purchase, so buying more seats increases your total cost proportionally. There are no separate tiers or usage add-ons in this listing. To train several people, you select the quantity of seats you need.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
One seat covers one student's enrollment in the SEC565 Red Team Operations and Adversary Emulation course. It includes hands-on labs and course materials for that individual. Seats are not shared between people. To train several staff, you buy one seat per person.
SANS delivers courses through live in-person events, live online sessions, and self-paced OnDemand study. A seat grants course access, but format availability depends on the schedule you register for. Self-paced access runs for a set number of months. Confirm the format tied to your seat with the vendor.
Cost scales directly with the number of seats you buy. Each added student requires one more seat, and your total rises proportionally with the seat count. There are no usage add-ons or separate tiers in this listing. You set the quantity to match how many people need the course.
