The CISO’s Guide to Red Teaming

A red team exercise is a full-scope, real-world attack simulation that acts as the “diagnostic stress test” of an organization’s security immune system. For a CISO, red teaming provides an unvarnished view of how an organization stands up to modern threats and where strategic reinforcements are needed.
