The Red Team is a separate entity from the rest
of the company. Red Teams are a group of threat
actors whose activities are encapsulated within
an individual exercise and operations. They are
only hired when organizations are willing to
check for any vulnerabilities in their systems or
networks. The primary goal of the Red Team is to
advise Blue Team members on how to safeguard
data, networks, and systems against harmful
activity.

team members are hired in a variety of ways by
different organizations. Occasionally, businesses
will hire a group of ethical hackers. They
sometimes employ a single person in charge of
attacking the systems the Red Team member
must-do activities like vulnerability assessment
and penetration testing on occasions.

What is Red Team Engagement? Red Team
Engagements are a great way to show a real-world
threat posed by an APT (Advanced Persistent
Threat). The assessors are told to compromise
specified assets, or flags, by employing
techniques used by a malicious hacker in an
actual attack. These in-depth, complicated
security audits are best suited for businesses
striving to improve their security
operations. Performing security assessments such
as penetration tests should be an integral part
of your enterprises information security
strategy to mitigate the risk of breaches.
However, the best way to assess your
organizations preparedness to deal with an
organized hacking attempt is through a red team
operation, a full-scale simulation of a
cyber-attack designed to test its ability to
detect and respond to it rigorously. Here are a
few benefits of red team engagement.

Benefits of Red Team Engagement Identifying your
strength It is misunderstood that the red team or
offensive security assessments mainly focus on
the organizations weaknesses. But no, red team
assessments also help us know the organizations
strengths. It is always essential and beneficial
to have knowledge of your strengths and continue
building and growing in those particular
areas. Test assumptions Because they pay for
them, businesses presume they have various
security procedures. On the other hand, many
providers sell ransomware protection, which
organizations buy without testing. Its all too
tempting to believe that just because a security
control has a budget, it must be working. Its
critical that your red team put those assumptions
to the test.

Train blue teams Defenders are essential to the
organization, and they are the ones who identify
any kind of attack, from phishing mail to viruses
within the systems. To work out any kinks in your
teams response plan before an attack happens,
provide technical training and review incident
response plans and playbooks. Its like a
blue-team fire drill. And only with the red
teams reports is it possible to give 100
training to the blue teams.

Understand the different approaches of an
attacker Unlike many regular security
assessments, which are limited in scope and
duration, red teaming aims to more effectively
re-create an attackers strategy by testing your
defenses secretly for weeks or months without
previous knowledge of the target environment. A
red team operation starts with a thorough
reconnaissance phase to learn everything there is
to know about the target network and the security
measures and technology in place. After the
mapping is complete, the hacker will look for
flaws and, if necessary, create bespoke tools to
exploit them. An ethical hacker will establish
several command and control channels after
successfully gaining access to a network to
escalate privileges and enable lateral movement
through the target network. A red team
engagement guarantees that defensive abilities
are stretched to the utmost by attempting to
achieve its final goal without being detected.

Get help addressing fundamental exposures Red
teaming is developed to cause no or little
disruption to business operations by following a
set of pre-defined rules of engagement. Each
engagement identifies and quantifies significant
security concerns and hazards so that theyll be
addressed before a catastrophic cyber breach
occurs. Regular, hand-written reporting is part
of every red team operation, notifying critical
stakeholders of the weaknesses discovered, the
methodologies employed, and the information
compromised. A debriefing that delivers
actionable intelligence and thorough remedy
guidance and tips to improve employee cyber
awareness is included in all engagements. Improve
response As your company conducts more Red Team
engagements, response time will improve.
Detections can now be measured in minutes by
organizations. Annually, the ability to improve
detections and then replay attack chains
significantly reduces reaction time when compared
to manual detection.
