What is red team security and what is the main difference between blue team security?
Red team security is the practice of evaluating security controls, policies, plans, and systems by establishing an offensive mechanism. Red team structure is a group of internal IT and security personnel who play an offensive role by simulating actions of those malicious actors or attackers. And it is established to test and assess the security posture of an organization through simulated attack scenarios.
The red team security involves tactical and deliberate approaches to exploit all of the required information as if it were real cyberattack. The red team in collaboration with the organization develops rules of engagement before attacking the systems and infrastructure under consideration.
The main difference between red team and blue team security is that red team plays an offensive role while the blue team plays a defensive role in the simulated attacks.
