Red Team

A group of security professionals who simulate real-world adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures against an organization to test its detection and response capabilities under realistic conditions. Unlike a penetration test, which often focuses on finding as many vulnerabilities as possible, a red team engagement typically focuses on achieving a specific objective while evading detection.
