Red Teaming
Intelligence-led Pentest (iPentest)
Red teaming is a comprehensive cybersecurity service that simulates real-world attack scenarios to evaluate an organization's security posture across people, processes, and technology. Unlike traditional penetration testing, red teaming focuses on achieving specific objectives by mimicking advanced persistent threats (APTs), identifying blind spots, and testing incident response effectiveness.
Example of Scenarios
External scenario
Simulating attacks from outside the organization
Compromised scenario
Testing response to internal system compromise
Phishing scenario
Social engineering and email-based attacks
USB drop scenario
Physical security testing with malicious devices
Cloud Attack Scenario
Targets cloud infrastructure to gain unauthorized access and control.
ICS/OT Attack Scenario
Attacks industrial/operational systems to disrupt or control physical processes.
Red Teaming vs. Penetration Testing: The Key Difference
Objective:
Resilience vs Vulnerabilities
A Pentest aims to identify specific technical vulnerabilities. Red Teaming, conversely, evaluates your organization's overall resilience against a real-world, sophisticated attack, testing your ability to detect, respond, and recover.
Scope:
Targeted vs Full-Spectrum
Pentests focus on a defined, limited scope (e.g., one application or network segment). Red Teaming takes a full-spectrum approach, targeting people, processes, and technology, often including social engineering and physical security.
Stealth & Awareness: Covert vs. Known
Red Teaming operates covertly, mimicking a real attacker who aims to stay undetected. Pentests are typically known by the IT/security teams, with testers often working in coordination.
Common Goals
Try to compromise the infrastructure
Try to access the PII data
Blue team exercise
People / process / technology improvement
