Definition of Red-Teaming

Red teaming is a practice used in cybersecurity to test an organization’s defenses by simulating real-world attacks. 

  • A red team is a group that pretends to be an enemy, attempts a physical or digital intrusion against an organization at the direction of that organization, then reports back so that the organization can improve their defenses.
  • Red teams work for the organization or are hired by the organization.
