code: SBT-BTL1

BTL1 is our leading certification, designed to train technical defenders who can defend networks and respond to real-world cyber incidents. The skills and tools you learn apply directly to security roles and are used by defenders worldwide. In the past five years, more than 10000 students have earned BTL1, joining a global community of over 150000 learners, across 80+ countries, making it one of the most recognized and trusted blue team qualifications.

 

Why choose BTL1?

BTL1 goes beyond theory. Every lab, tool, and scenario is modelled on real incidents, so you learn to detect, investigate, and respond the way professionals do in live environments.

BTL1 develops practical capability across all core areas of cyber defense, giving you a wider skill base than courses focused only on SOC analysis. You'll gain experience in:

  • Analyzing and responding to phishing attacks
  • Performing forensics investigations to collect and analyze digital evidence
  • Using a SIEM platform to investigate malicious activity
  • Interpreting logs and network traffic to identify threats and malware
  • Researching and profiling threat actors
  • … And much more

 

Certified rewards

Once a student passes the practical exam and becomes BTL1 certified, they will receive a number of rewards for their hard work:

  • Become Blue Team Level 1 certified for life
  • BTL1 digital PDF certificate
  • BTL1 Credly digital badge
  • BTL1 printed certificate
  • BTL1 silver challenge coin (gold if 90%+ is scored on first attempt)

  • Students/IT Personnel
  • Security Analysts
