Run a Red-Team Exercise on a Cloud-Native Microservices Platform

What this challenge is about.
Run a Red-Team Exercise on a Cloud-Native Microservices Platform. Advanced challenge in analysis. Analyzing real datasets and building models that drive deci...
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Execute 4 cloud-native attack chains from a documented initial foothold and produce a red-team report that the blue team can act on.
This is not a data exercise. It is the work an analyst does when stakeholders need answers from messy data. That distinction matters to every hiring manager who has seen candidates describe statistical methods and none who have extracted insight from messy, real-world data.
When you finish, you will have something most graduates do not: a real-world deliverable, verified by Ewance, that you can show to a hiring manager and say "I did this. Here is the proof."
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Plan a scoped red-team engagement that respects rules of engagement
- Execute cloud-native attack chains end-to-end with reproducible evidence
- Map every step to MITRE ATT&CK for blue-team consumption
- Write a red-team report that drives detection improvements, not blame
