Deep dives
Red teaming as a tool to build defenses
Red teaming has the potential to identify areas where organizations need to strengthen their defenses, but it is often viewed as a mere validation of existing security measures. There is a need to shift the perception of red teaming and consider it as a way to proactively test infrastructure instead of waiting for it to be ready. By moving red teaming upstream, organizations can gain more value from these exercises and improve their overall security program.
