CCRTS — CREST Certified Red Team Specialist
CREST's red team specialist certification — renamed from CCSAS in 2025 — required for practitioners conducting CBEST, GBEST, and TIBER-EU regulated red team engagements in the UK and EU. Two exam parts with written and practical components, totaling approximately $4,060 USD. Current CCT INF required. Limited to CREST-active markets.
