    Trainer(s): Carlo Anez Mazurco & Mariana Ruiz

    Short Summary: A fun, beginner‑friendly “blue vs red” immersion built with Blue Team Village (BTV) DNA: learn attacker playbooks from a defender’s perspective, then turn every step into telemetry, detections, and incident reporting with AI to accelerate triage and reasoning. The course culminates in a Project Obsidian‑style mini‑CTF (CTFd) plus a graded incident report and detections mapped to MITRE ATT&CK.
