Description

In this course, you will explore Threat Actor Behavior Simulation using the powerful open-source tool, Caldera. You’ll learn how to set up a virtual lab, simulate real-world cyber threats in an automated way, and understand techniques used by adversaries. The course also covers how to create reports and analyze attacker profiles to improve your defense strategy.At first sight, you may think it is very complex but, this course aims to show you how easy it can be.This training is ideal for both beginners and experienced cybersecurity professionals. You will be guided step-by-step through identifying relevant threat actors and continuously updating your simulations to reflect the evolving threat landscape. It’s a practical and hands-on approach that goes beyond traditional penetration testing.All tools used are free and open-source, making them accessible to anyone interested in improving their cybersecurity skills. The course is structured to be easy to follow while still offering valuable insights for more advanced learners.I am committed to keeping the course current by adding new content and updates as Caldera evolves. These updates, including bonus material, are available at no additional cost.If you have any questions, suggestions, or feedback, feel free to reach out. I’m always open to connecting and helping you get the most out of this course.
