CRTL

Passed the Certified Red Team Lead on August 22, 2026. Verifiable credential.

the cert

CRTL is the follow-on to CRTO, Zero-Point Security’s advanced red team course. It moves past driving someone else’s C2 and into the tradecraft: standing up your own infrastructure, offensive tooling and loader development, and defeating modern host defenses instead of routing around them.

the exam

Same hands-on format as CRTO, harder, with EDR in the path. You’re operating in an environment that’s watching, so the evasion has to be yours and it has to hold up against a product built to catch exactly what you’re doing.
