Pwned Labs Microsoft Cloud Attack & Defense Bootcamp - Professional Edition

Hands-on Microsoft Cloud attack and defense training focused on real-world attack paths across Azure and Microsoft 365.

Designed for modern identity-driven Microsoft Cloud environments

Microsoft Cloud is much more than just Azure!

This 4-week professional bootcamp teaches how real attackers compromise Microsoft cloud environments and how defenders detect and respond. You will work through identity-driven attack paths across Entra ID, Azure, and Microsoft 365 using techniques observed in active intrusions.

On completion, you will be ready to attempt the Pwned Labs Microsoft Cloud Red Team Professional (MCRTP) certification through a fully hands-on, unproctored exam that validates practical tradecraft rather than theory.

The bootcamp is also available in an on-demand format.

Prerequisites and key learning outcomes

This bootcamp assumes basic command-line familiarity. Prior Azure experience is helpful but not required.

Understand core Azure, Entra ID, and Microsoft Graph concepts
Gain initial access and move laterally using identity-driven attack paths
Abuse tokens, applications, and cloud permissions
Simulate real-world attacks using purple team techniques
Identify and exploit Conditional Access and MFA gaps
Attack and defend Azure App Services
Detect attacker activity using Microsoft Sentinel
Perform lateral movement between Azure and on-prem environments

Azure & M365 security learning path

Alongside the live bootcamp, participants receive access to a structured Azure and Microsoft 365 security learning path with premium labs focused on offensive and defensive tradecraft.

This path is designed for practitioners targeting offensive, defensive, or cloud security roles within Microsoft environments.

Lifetime access to bootcamp recordings and custom content
45 days of lab access, extendable with subscription
Direct preparation for the MCRTP certification exam
More information on the bootcamp, learning path and MCRTP exam can be found on the FAQs page.

Focus on trending techniques and tradecraft

The Pwned Labs Microsoft Cloud Attack & Defense Bootcamp – Professional Edition covers attacker tradecraft observed in real Microsoft cloud breaches, including activity attributed to groups such as Storm-0558 and APT-29. Labs simulate realistic enterprise environments with active users and services.

You will learn how to:

Reproduce tradecraft from recent cloud incidents
Execute attacks using multiple tooling approaches
Evict attackers and rotate compromised credentials

Great bootcamp with a holistic approach to Microsoft Cloud Abuses and Defenses at a great price. I had fun and I was eager for each session to start.

Before completing the Microsoft Cloud Attack and Defense Bootcamp, I had no experience or knowledge of cloud penetration testing. This boot camp provided the foundational understanding I needed, covering everything from the unique challenges cloud environments pose to the specific tools and techniques used for cloud security assessments. It equipped me with the skills to approach cloud penetration tests more confidently, something that was unfamiliar territory before. The practical, hands-on learning was particularly valuable in helping me understand the nuances of attacking and defending Microsoft Cloud infrastructures.

I really appreciated the hands-on, immersive nature of the bootcamp. The realistic lab environments simulating actual company Azure and Microsoft 365 environments with active users were invaluable for learning. Being able to identify and replicate real-world techniques used by threat actors like Storm-0558 and APT-29 was extremely useful training. The structured learning path with access to premium Azure security labs and custom content was also a big plus.

I think the best part was the community aspect of it. Everybody learning together and helping each other in the discord channel. Learned a lot by asking and giving some help to others!

What I liked most about the bootcamp was the hands-on approach. It wasn't just theoretical; I got to apply what I learned in real-world scenarios, especially in Azure environments. This practical experience really helped solidify my understanding of cloud security concepts and strategies.

I really appreciated the balance between theory and practice. The hands-on labs were particularly helpful in solidifying my understanding of Azure security vulnerabilities and exploitation techniques
