Happy Woman's Day!!! 💃 . I've been sick in bed last few days and took some time off to Rest, Recharge, Recalibrate. I can't stress how important it is to take a break even though it may feel like time is working against you. . Anyway, let's not get distracted... . Today I want to discuss with you why I want to join the Red Team 👠 . First, let's address the differences between Penetration Testers, the Red Team and the Blue Team. . In short, red teamers and pentesters are the offense. The blue team is the defense. . Penetration testers differ from Red Team in their mission which is to discover vulnerabilities through a rigorous methodical approach. It is usually a 1-2 week engagement, well defined and generally announced to the company's security teams. . Red Team ❣️ is not as methodical which allows for creativity and flexibility. The goal is to emulate TTPs ( tactics, techniques, procedures) used by adversaries and test the overall security program. . The Red Team finds gaps in employee skills, blue team response capabilities, processes, policies and tools. It's not about how many vulnerabilities are found. These engagements last much longer than pentests; up to 6 months and are often not announced to the company's security team. . Red Team can expose flaws in security, that may be missed by security audits and compliance. They focus more on vulnerablities in the security program versus the application itself. They simulate real world events. They are stealthy. They think big. How exciting is that? How about you? Which team do you choose? .
