PREPARE · ADVERSARIAL TRAINING

ATTACK. DEFEND. LEARN.

C3SA combines offensive and defensive training so teams understand adversary behavior, detection opportunities and response decisions from both sides of the engagement.

OUTCOMES

WHAT CHANGES.

Our work is designed around practical outcomes, not activity for its own sake.

  • Improve attacker and defender tradecraft
  • Connect techniques to detection and response
  • Build shared language across red and blue teams
  • Turn exercises into measurable defensive improvements
DETAILS

WHAT EACH COMPONENT DELIVERS.

Training is built around the adversary techniques most relevant to your environment.

RED

Red Team Skills

Offensive tradecraft taught in labs: reconnaissance, exploitation, privilege escalation, lateral movement and achieving objectives.

What you get

  • Guided offensive labs
  • Demonstrated techniques
  • Links to the detections that catch them
Talk to C3SA about Red Team Skills
BLUE

Blue Team Skills

Defensive tradecraft: telemetry, triage, threat hunting, containment and investigation.

What you get

  • Investigation labs
  • Hunting exercises
  • Analyst workflow feedback
Talk to C3SA about Blue Team Skills
PURPLE

Purple Team Sessions

Red and blue working together technique by technique, validating and improving detection as they go.

What you get

  • Technique results
  • New or improved detections
  • Shared understanding across teams
Talk to C3SA about Purple Team Sessions
ATT&CK

MITRE ATT&CK Mapping

Structuring scenarios and results around the MITRE ATT&CK knowledge base of adversary behaviour, so coverage is measurable.

What you get

  • Scenarios mapped to ATT&CK
  • A detection coverage view
  • Gap priorities
Talk to C3SA about MITRE ATT&CK Mapping
DETECTION

Detection Workshops

Writing and testing detections against known techniques using your own security tools and data.

What you get

  • Detection rules written in your tools
  • Test results
  • Tuning guidance
Talk to C3SA about Detection Workshops
IMPROVE

After-Action Review

Capturing missed signals, response friction and improvement priorities after each session.

What you get

  • An after-action summary
  • Detection backlog
  • A retest plan
Talk to C3SA about After-Action Review
ENGAGEMENTS

HOW WE CAN HELP.

Engagements can be targeted, project-based or part of a broader transformation program.

WHERE C3SA ADDS VALUE

OFFENCE THAT MAKES DEFENCE BETTER.

Offensive testing and defensive operations are often disconnected: testers write reports and defenders never see how the attack looked from their side. C3SA uses controlled attack activity to expose detection gaps, has defenders investigate, and jointly improves telemetry, rules and procedures.

Sessions produce repeatable training scenarios, so the same techniques can be re-run to confirm detections still work.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Do we need an existing red team?

No. C3SA provides the offensive side. Your defenders participate, and your own red team can join if you have one.

Does training use our tools?

Where possible, yes. Detection work is most valuable when it happens in your own SIEM, EDR and logging platforms.

How is this different from cyber defence services?

Training builds your team's skills. Cyber defence services test and tune your defences as a service. Many clients combine the two.

THE C3SA DIFFERENCE

ADVICE. IMPLEMENTATION. PROOF.

THE NEED

Offensive testing and defensive operations are disconnected.

WHAT C3SA DOES

C3SA uses controlled attack activity to expose detection gaps, has defenders investigate, and jointly improves telemetry, rules and procedures.

WHAT YOU GET

Tested techniques, detection outcomes, revised content and repeatable training scenarios.
