Advanced Infrastructure Hacking Training in France

What you’ll learn

This course uses a Defence by Offence methodology based on real world engagements and offensive research (not theory). That means everything we teach has been tried and tested on live environments and in our labs, so you can put it into practice as soon as the training is over. By the end of the course, you’ll know:

• How to think and behave like an advanced, real world threat actor
• How to identify commonly used vulnerabilities known to have recently caused damage and disruption
• How to deploy the latest and most common network infrastructure and cloud hacks, (including many novel techniques that can’t be detected by scanners)
• How to analyse vulnerabilities within your own organisation and customise your hacking techniques in response
• A huge menu of hacks for Windows, Linux, Microsoft Azure, AWS, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), software development systems, and more...

What you’ll be doing

You’ll be learning hands on:

• Spending most of the session (~80%) on lab-based exercises
• Using lab-based flows to explore and hack lifelike web application environments
• Discussing the impact of the hacks covered with your course trainer

As different on-premise and cloud environments shapeshift and converge, the practice of infrastructure security is becoming more complex. Organisations and their security teams can no longer afford to understand the overarching attack surface at a high level. Nor can they rely on the same security practices that worked in the past. What’s needed is a thorough, contextual understanding of how and why your architecture and systems get targeted by threat actors, which are at risk, and what happens when those attacks succeed. Our Advanced Infrastructure Hacking course provides delegates with this knowledge and more, by giving them an up-to-date arsenal of advanced offensive testing and remediation skills.

Our syllabuses are revised regularly to reflect the latest in-the-wild hacks and whatever proof of concepts we’ve been developing through our own research. Because they remain so up to date with the threat landscape and security industry standard, many delegates return every 1-2 years to update their skills and get a refresh.

Course highlights

What delegates love:

• Our labs: probably the biggest selling point for our courses. Not only will you spend most of the course hacking hands-on in a lifelike web environment.
• Individual access: you’ll have your own infrastructure to play with, enabling you to hack at your own speed.
• Real-world learning: where many of the leading cybersecurity training courses are based on theory, our scenario-led, research-based approach ensures you learn how real threat actors think and behave.
• Specialist-led training: you’ll learn from highly skilled and experienced practicing penetration testers and red teamers.
• Up-to-date content: our syllabus remains so relevant and current, delegates come back year on year for more.
• Remediations included: you’ll learn how to fix as well as find vulnerabilities.
• Course topics: our cloud and AD modules are a favourite.
