Hands on training from the people who do it for real.
Practical, expert led training for security engineers, IAM administrators and enterprise teams, covering DevSecOps tooling, Ping Identity, Keycloak and Kubernetes. Fully remote, real tools, and Game Days that test your team before an incident does.
Build foundational and advanced technical skills.
Expert led, hands on sessions delivered remotely with code and labs provided. Customisable to your team's stack and level.
DevSecOps tooling
Standardised local development environments. Streamline team workflows and eliminate configuration inconsistencies across environments.
Unix fundamentals
Core Unix commands for IAM operations, diagnostics, automation, log analysis and incident triage, with reusable debugging cheat sheets.
Git and version control
Solid version control habits from staging to advanced branching and merge conflict resolution, essential for GitOps based IAM pipelines.
Ping Identity AIC configuration
Spin up the Ping AIC stack in minutes using scripting, including the Midships Cube local development approach for parallel team working.
Kubernetes, fundamentals and advanced
Practical Kubernetes for IAM teams, deployment, monitoring, log tracing and service networking, using the patterns Midships runs in production.
Ping Identity AIC scripting
Write and extend journeys and custom workflows for identity, authentication and access control, using patterns from real Midships implementations.
Simulate an incident before it happens for real.
Midships Game Days put your team through live fire incident simulations, realistic, high pressure scenarios testing your ability to detect, diagnose and recover from IAM breaches, outages and security events. Most teams find out how good their incident response is when something goes wrong. Game Days let you find out before that, with Midships engineers alongside your team throughout. For regulated enterprises with SLA obligations, finding a gap in a Game Day is far cheaper than finding it in production.
Enhanced preparedness
Real world threat and failure scenarios with structured feedback. Teams leave incident ready.
Improved troubleshooting
Better skills and system observability, reducing mean time to recovery and avoiding SLA breaches when it counts.
Full stack readiness
Engineers, service managers and incident commanders. The whole team knows its role.
Incident muscle memory
Rapid scenario spin ups build the confidence that comes from having done it before.
Realistic, designed around your environment.
Agentic AI out of bounds
An autonomous agent attempts an action outside its authorised scope. The team detects the governance breach and investigates the audit trail. Relevant for enterprises deploying Icebreaker.
Authentication service compromise
Simulated credential stuffing against a live Ping or Keycloak environment. The team detects, isolates and recovers under time pressure.
Identity platform degradation
A cascading failure in the identity layer affects customer journeys. The team diagnoses root cause and manages communications.
Rollback under pressure
A version upgrade introduces unexpected behaviour. The team identifies the issue and executes a controlled rollback.
Governance engine failure
The AI governance control plane degrades. The team maintains safe operation and protects audit trail integrity.
Training – FAQs
Is the training hands on?
Yes. Hands on, expert led training using real tools and infrastructure. Fully remote, with code and labs provided. Instructors are Midships engineers who use these tools in production client engagements.
What is a Game Day?
A live fire incident simulation testing your team's response to IAM breaches, outages or security events. Midships engineers design and run the scenario, your team responds in real time, and structured feedback is provided throughout and after the session.
Who is the training for?
Security engineers, IAM administrators, DevOps and platform engineers, and enterprise IT teams. Game Days also involve service managers and incident commanders for cross functional readiness.
Can sessions be tailored to our environment?
Yes. Bootcamps are tailored to your tech stack, skill level and objectives. Game Day scenarios are designed around your actual environment and the incident types most relevant to your risk profile.
Do you offer AI governance scenarios?
Yes. Midships can design Game Day scenarios for AI governance, including agentic AI out of bounds detection, governance engine failure, and audit trail integrity testing. Particularly relevant for enterprises deploying Icebreaker.
