Outsider Security offers training courses for offensive and defensive security teams. Currently we are focusing on our offensive Azure AD and Hybrid AD security training, which is given as an in-person 3-day training. The training is primarily given to internal teams at organizations, for example internal red teams or offensive security companies that want to train their teams in Azure AD attacks. Public offerings of this training are also available, a list of dates is shown below.

Training: Offensive Azure AD and hybrid AD security

In the past few years more and more companies adopted Azure AD as an identity platform for their cloud services, often using their existing on-prem AD as a source for a hybrid setup. As a red teamer, pentester, or security architect, you are probably familiar with Active Directory security concepts. Azure AD is vastly different and is built around different concepts and protocols.

This training explains how organizations use Azure AD to manage modern cloud-based or hybrid environments and what security challenges this brings. It is the result of many years of research into the protocols and internals of Azure AD. It will give you the knowledge to analyze, attack, and secure Azure AD and hybrid setups from modern threats. The training is technical and deep-dives into core protocols such as OAuth2 and application concepts. It includes many labs and hands-on exercises, set up as challenges to gain access to accounts and elevate privileges.
