As attackers become more sophisticated, it is important that organisations assess their capability to resist and respond to cyber-attacks based on an understanding of the key threats they face. Red Teaming goes further than just identifying gaps in your security practices and controls to prevent an attack; it also provides valuable insights about your organisation’s capability to identify attacks while they are still in progress and remove them from the environment.
The purpose of performing a red team assessment is to demonstrate how real world attackers can combine exploits and other tools to achieve their goal.
