Red teaming is an advanced, goal-driven form of penetration testing that simulates real-world attacks across an entire organisation. Unlike traditional pen tests focused on specific systems, red teams mimic real threat actors to uncover vulnerabilities, test defences, and assess how well the security team (blue team) detects and responds.
These exercises are more complex and realistic, offering valuable insights into security gaps and helping organisations strengthen their overall resilience—before a real attack happens.
