Throughout this module, you have built a solid foundation in threat emulation. You learned the core concepts and processes behind emulation exercises, explored how threat modeling helps identify and prioritize the threats that matter most, and got hands-on with Atomic Red Team to emulate real adversary techniques and observe how defenses respond to them.

This room is where you start putting that knowledge into practice. Across this room and the next, you will take everything from the previous rooms and apply it in practical, scenario-driven environments. The focus is on going beyond the defaults and basics to enhance the impact of Purple Team, Threat Emulation, and Detection Engineering exercises. You will emulate real adversarial tactics, hunt for attacker behavior in your environment, and experience what a purple teaming exercise looks like in action.

Learning Objectives

  • Gain hands-on threat emulation experience.
  • Familiarise yourself with artefacts created by adversary tactics and techniques.
  • Experience emulation and detection to improve your overall security defences.

Room Prerequisites
