By Red Siege | January 13, 2026

As proud sponsors of Wild West Hackin’ Fest, Red Siege is thrilled to return to Denver for another year of cutting-edge training, insightful talks, and unforgettable experiences. This event is a cornerstone for Red Siege, and we bring the full strength of our team and resources to make it truly special. Here’s what you can expect from us this year:

Kickstarting with Training:

Before the main event kicks off, join us for some training!

“Penetration Testing: Beyond the Basics” with CEO Tim Medin 

Have you already taken Introduction to Pentesting with John Strand from Antispyhon? This course is meant as a follow on to the class, where we go into even more depth on what it takes to deliver a high-value penetration test. This course begins with tips and tricks for enumerating hosts, then dives into valuable initial access techniques. From there the course teaches how to identify additional targets via situational awareness, and of course, how to pivot to those hosts using practical lateral movement techniques. (details)

“Offense for Defense” with Principal Security Consultant Mike Saunders and Senior Security Consultant Corey Overstreet 

This two-day training is designed specifically for blue team professionals looking to enhance their defensive skills by learning offensive strategies directly from expert attackers. It’s an invaluable opportunity for defenders to understand the attacker’s mindset and strengthen their security posture. (details)
