GRTP — GIAC Red Team Professional
GIAC's red team professional certification launched in 2025 covering red team operations methodology, adversary simulation, and detection evasion. CyberLive hands-on component adds practical weight but remains predominantly MCQ — the same limitation that affects all standard GIAC certifications. DoD 8140 status pending. Associated with SANS SEC565 training. Fills a gap in the GIAC certification path between GPEN and GXPN for practitioners specializing in red team rather than pure exploit development.
