We build investigators.
Hands-on blue team training that turns security analysts into independent investigators.

“The IR300 lab with its fully simulated APT attacks was
pure joy.”

quality DFIR content.”
— Adrian Iuliano, DFIR Engineer
“Overall 10/10.
I only have positive things to say and will be recommending it.”

Feedback from working analysts and security leaders.
“Way more data, way more artifacts to correlate. Proper timelines and IOC documentation suddenly become non-negotiable, exactly like in a real investigation. The IR300 lab with its fully simulated APT attacks was pure joy.”
Tim Coerlin
DFIR Engineer, Telekom Security
“The course was EXACTLY what I was looking for when I began looking into IR training for the team. The approach of hands-on coaching was much more effective than lectures.”
Robert Brooks
Deputy CISO
“The more I drilled into the material, the more excited I got about work again. I landed two Cyber Threat Analyst interviews and knocked them both out of the park.”
