Certified RF Red & Blue Team Specialist (CRBTRF)

Certified RF Red & Blue Team Specialist (CRBTRF) Certification Program by Tonex

This certification program develops specialists who can both attack and defend RF enabled systems across complex environments. Participants explore RF fundamentals, propagation, and signal behavior while learning how modern adversaries exploit wireless channels to disrupt missions and exfiltrate data. The course blends red team tactics such as RF reconnaissance, jamming strategies, spoofing, and deception with blue team practices for detection, hardening, and incident response.

Cybersecurity is emphasized throughout as RF infrastructures increasingly intersect with IP networks, industrial control systems, and mission critical platforms. Participants learn how RF abuse can bypass traditional cybersecurity controls and how to design multi layer defenses that coordinate spectrum monitoring with network security operations. By the end of the program, learners will be able to plan realistic RF attack scenarios, measure impact, and translate findings into actionable improvements for policies, architecture, and monitoring.

Course Delivery
The course is delivered through a combination of lectures, interactive discussions, and structured group exercises led by Tonex RF and security experts. Participants work through realistic RF centric attack and defense scenarios, analyze signals and events, and develop plans that translate technical findings into risk based recommendations. Curated readings, case studies, and practical tools reinforce each module and help learners connect RF operations with broader organizational security programs and decision making.

Assessment and Certification
Participants are assessed through quizzes, short assignments, and a capstone style RF red and blue team exercise plan that demonstrates their ability to think like both attacker and defender. Performance across these activities is used to validate mastery of RF fundamentals, offensive and defensive techniques, and integration with cybersecurity practices. Upon successful completion, participants receive the Certified RF Red & Blue Team Specialist CRBTRF Certification from Tonex.
