CRTO Certification Overview


Origin


The Certified Red Team Operator (CRTO) certification was created by Zero-Point Security, a cybersecurity training organization founded by Daniel Duggan (known as RastaMouse in the security community). Launched in 2020, the certification was developed to address a gap in practical, hands-on red team training. Zero-Point Security designed CRTO to move beyond theoretical knowledge and provide realistic adversary simulation experience, focusing on the tactics, techniques, and procedures actually used in modern red team operations.


Industry Value


The CRTO is valued in the cybersecurity industry for its practical, performance-based assessment approach that tests real-world red teaming skills rather than multiple-choice knowledge. The certification requires candidates to complete a 48-hour practical exam where they must compromise an Active Directory environment, demonstrating proficiency with tools like Cobalt Strike and command-and-control infrastructure. Employers appreciate CRTO holders because the certification validates hands-on offensive security capabilities, including lateral movement, privilege escalation, and persistence techniques that are directly applicable to red team engagements and penetration testing roles.
