Red Team
A red team is a group of security professionals who simulate real-world attacks against an organization to test its defenses. Unlike penetration testing, red team exercises assess the entire security posture including people, processes, and technology across an extended engagement.
Blue Team
A Blue Team is a group of security professionals responsible for defending an organization's information systems by maintaining security controls, detecting threats, responding to incidents, and strengthening defenses against attacks.
Penetration Testing
Penetration testing (pen testing) is a simulated cyberattack against your computer system, network, or web application to identify exploitable vulnerabilities. Ethical hackers use the same tools and techniques as malicious attackers to find weaknesses before they can be exploited.
