Physical Penetration Testing
Instructed by Robert Pingor, Chris Cochran, Brian Rea, Babak Javadi
This intense five-day training is geared toward students who need to be spun up rapidly in the field of physical site compromise and entry. Professionals already working in the field who wish to hone their existing covert entry capabilities will also derive great benefit from taking this course. A wide range of topics including multiple special focus modules across a variety of physical, digital, and human attack surfaces will be covered in great detail. This course covers topics from lock manipulation and bypass to mission planning including reconnaissance and target evaluation. Vulnerabilities in electronic physical access control systems and other enterprise security systems are also explored.

Graduates of the training program can expect to be able to evaluate and approach a target structure -- whether commercial or residential -- and formulate a plan for gaining entry to the buildings and grounds as well as assorted locked containers and secured spaces that lay within, all with a focus on non-destructive techniques. Whether operating under the aegis of government authority or acting in a private sector security evaluation capacity, students will leave class equipped both mentally and materially to tackle the kinds of situations that our industry routinely presents to field agents.
Certification Preparation: This training course is seen by most in the industry as a key initial step on the pathway toward achievement of the tiered Red Team Certification Group credentialing process. Most participants who complete the course find themselves well prepared for the knowledge exam and practical hands-on exam portions of the Covert Entry Associate certification.

I really enjoyed the course! It was interesting to see a different perspective on penetration testing and ways of progressing from recon to initial access to escalating privilege and lateral movement.- Robert L., Washington, DC
