If done right, red teams put an organization’s security controls, policies, response and training to the test using the tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) of real-world adversaries, providing value to any security program.
Red teaming is an essential activity in any security program, but it only provides value if done right.
Red teams put an organization’s security controls, policies, response and training to the test using the tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) of real-world adversaries. It differs from penetration testing as it aims to achieve a specific goal or target. For example, a red teaming operation may target intellectual property, infiltrate a critical business process, or exfiltrate sensitive data from a particular application. However, the real value lies in better understanding critical business processes and the level of effort and sophistication required by an attack to exploit those processes to achieve the desired outcome.
