Introducing CSRTM - measuring competence, acknowledging excellence.
CSRTM is the pinnacle of the assessments we offer, and is aimed at those working at the highest level with experience managing Red Team projects. This comprehensive and innovative assessment breaks the mould when assessing competence, experience and appropriate measures, based on a range of KSATs (Knowledge, Skills and the Ability to carry out Tasks). It includes a presentation based on a real world scenario, a written assessment and an interview – providing the most well-rounded overview of a practising Red Teamer on the market.
“Having been active in Cyber Security for over 25 years, measuring a professional Cyber Security consultants skills and readiness, in my opinion, has always been a challenge, being able to identify critical tradecraft, skills and knowledge of an individual is key to endorsing a standard in the industry that can be trusted and relied upon by the cyber security community, The Cyber Scheme have absolutely nailed it with this exam format, from preparation, demonstration, tradecraft and knowledge measurement! They have my full backing personally and professionally!”
A Red Team Manager (RTM) is responsible and accountable for the planning, team selection, tasking, risk analysis/management and overall quality assurance of engagement report(s). It is NOT JUST a technical role and needs to be assessed in a way that reflects the holistic approach required.
The Cyber Scheme have undertaken extensive research over the past two years into the assessment and procurement landscape around the role of a Red Team Manager. This involved the creation of an Advisory Working Group consisting of principal organisations involved in the delivery of Red Team projects, as well as surveys carried out with our Sponsor companies, and the wider community.
The result of this research has led us to the creation of CSRTM – an innovative assessment aimed at recognising the core competency of a Red Team Manager, including negotiation techniques, communication skills, the ability to set and change direction and technical tradecraft.
