Red Teaming
Category: business
An advanced cybersecurity simulation where offensive security experts attack an organization's defenses without warning.
Red teams mimic real-world adversarial actors. They launch custom spear-phishing campaigns, attempt physical facility breaches, exploit zero-day code bugs, and deploy evasion tools to test not just the software firewalls, but the speed and capability of the active human SOC monitoring units.
Common Examples
- The quarterly red teaming exercise uncovered an unmonitored staging server that could be used to pivot onto the internal domain.
- Red teaming moves beyond generic automated scanning, delivering a realistic evaluation of your team's live incident containment speed.
