Practices
Red Team
A red team emulates real-world adversaries - their tactics, techniques, and procedures - to test not just vulnerabilities but an organization's detection and response. Red teaming is objective-driven and stealthy, going beyond a standard pentest to answer whether a determined attacker could achieve a specific goal.
Key points
- Adversary emulation against people, process, and technology.
- Tests blue-team detection and response, not only vulnerabilities.
- Maps activity to frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK.
FAQ
What is the difference between red teaming and penetration testing?
Penetration testing focuses on finding and exploiting vulnerabilities in a defined scope. Red teaming is broader and objective-driven, emulating a real adversary to test detection and response across the whole organization, often over a longer period and more stealthily.
