What is a red team pen test?
Red team pen tests are designed to test every layer of your organization’s security defenses,including all cyber, physical and procedural controls. Confronting your whole-business security assumptions simulates a real-world attack from a determined adversary. It’s the ultimate test of your security posture that provides you with valuable intelligence on how a cyber criminal could breach your organization.
Red team pen tests are also sometimes called physical penetration tests, as they typically include a physical intrusion attempt. All cyber, physical and procedural attacks are conducted in a pre-approved, controlled, authorized environment to ensure no risk to your day-to-day business activities.

Red team exercises feature a pre-agreed objective that our experienced penetration testers are challenged to complete.
Red team assessments are designed to help you think like a hacker. Red teaming is the most comprehensive security assessment and demonstrates to your customers that you’re serious about security.

Penetration testing focuses on identifying security gaps within specific IT systems, whereas red team assessments aim to breach your security defenses using tactics and tools similar to those of persistent attackers. This method more accurately simulates a cybercriminal's attack on your networks and security controls. For a thorough evaluation of your organization’s security posture, red teaming can be combined with black teaming.
At Target Defense, our skilled adversarial techniques examine every aspect of your organization’s defenses, offering a comprehensive view of your security vulnerabilities. Red teaming is the most exhaustive security assessment available, making it an excellent way to enhance your systems and demonstrate to clients and stakeholders your commitment to security.

A red team test is objective-based, with a pre-defined scope that’s calibrated to your organization’s security goals. Our trained operatives will profile your business across all stages of the kill chain to create a customized plan of attack – just like a real cyber criminal.
The red team engagement starts with penetration testing and social engineering elements in order to identify weaknesses in your cyber and procedural security. This data supports a physical site access attempt, in-line with scope. Once completed, a comprehensive report will explain every step taken and details of the vulnerabilities and data we were able to find.
