DEF CON Training Bahrain 2026!
Mastering Breach and Adversarial Attack Simulation Engagements

BreachSimRange brings the Level 2 – Advanced Edition of Mastering Breach and Adversarial Attack Simulation Engagements, a two-day, hands-on training led by Abhijith B R to DEF CON Training Middle East 2026 on November 09-10, 2026 at Wyndham Grand Manama. This is an upcoming training, and the 2026 edition ships with significantly upgraded content over previous years.

Building on advanced adversary simulation tradecraft, the CBAS Advanced Edition is tailored for red teamers, penetration testers, and offensive security practitioners who want to level up their adversary emulation and cyber defense validation capabilities against hardened enterprise environments.

Over two days, participants work through the full offensive lifecycle, from initial access and advanced defense evasion through to lateral movement and data exfiltration. All exercises run inside a guided, defended enterprise lab environment equipped with real-world security technologies (AV, EDR, SIEM, and web proxies), mapping real-world TTPs to MITRE ATT&CK and correlating telemetry across the kill chain so operators understand how techniques look from both attacker and defender vantage points.

Participants who complete the training and pass the practical hands-on proficiency exam earn the CBAS (Certified Breach and Adversarial Attack Simulation Specialist) - DEF CON Training Edition certification, along with a digital badge and challenge coin.
