The mission of the Red Team Alliance is to advance the discipline of security by advancing the people in security.
RTA was formed in 2017 when two consultancies recognized the critical need for mature security training and certification that transcends the traditional “brain dump” style trainings found in hotel business centers and conference rooms. In 2025, RTA expanded its mission to serve the global security community, launching region-specific training programs tailored for Europe and Australia, addressing the unique regulatory environments and security challenges in these markets.
Operating from state-of-the-art facilities in Las Vegas, NV and Fredericksburg, VA, with new training partnerships across Europe and Australia, RTA develops comprehensive programs that expose students to real-world environments as they are deployed in the field through immersive hands-on exercises and labs. This natural learning approach not only improves skill retention but bolsters confidence in the field and promotes mission success.
Led by world-renowned instructors including Babak Javadi and Deviant Ollam, RTA offers flagship courses covering Covert Methods of Entry, Physical Access Control Systems, Physical Intrusion Detection Systems, Surveillance Dynamics, and more. RTA has become an essential training provider for organizations and government customers including the FBI, NSA, DARPA, and National Defense University, as well as European and Australian security agencies.
In addition to providing advanced, practical skills, RTA maintains an established certification program offering three progressive credentials: Covert Entry Associate (CEA), Covert Entry Professional (CEP), and Covert Entry Expert (CEE). These certifications validate proficiency and help security professionals stand out in the field.
Through this integrated approach, RTA has established itself as the definitive training resource for security professionals worldwide seeking to master modern physical and electronic security vulnerabilities.
