CDeX offers various types of training
Blue Team vs Red Team
Before the training starts, IT infrastructure is prepared. Attacks are prepared and conducted
by Red Team specialists. Blue Team members acquire new skills in cyber defence.
Blue Teaming
The training infrastructure is prepared by the Red Team in line with the delivered specification and secured by the Blue Team before the training starts. During this training, Blue Team members test their skills in detecting cyberattacks.
on their own infrastructure
and learn to respond to them.
Catch me if you can – APT
The training infrastructure entrusted with the Blue Team undergoes an APT attack (Advanced Persistent Threat).
The task of the Blue Team is to detect it and take adequate actions with a view to eliminating
the APT attack and reconstructing the infrastructure.
