                     Your Guide To Red Teaming
Assessments
What Is A Red Team Assessment
A red team assessment is an all-encompassing evaluation method enacted by cybersecurity 
experts. They use it to uncover weaknesses in an organization’s digital infrastructure. Known as
a 'red team’, these cybersecurity practitioners employ tactics akin to those genuine 
cybercriminals use. It encompasses 
● Open-source intelligence gathering 
● Automated scanning 
● Manual penetration testing 
● Social engineering 
Red Team Assessment
Security vulnerabilities aren’t always to do with infrastructure alone; human error can play a 
potentially dangerous role in opening up your assets to exploitation. That’s where red team 
assessments come in.
A red team assessment is designed for large and/or complex organizations managing a diverse 
range of sensitive assets through physical, technical, or process-based systems. The 
assessment's outcome allows you to see how cybercriminals may infiltrate your sensitive data, 
network, and physical environment and how well-prepared your incident response team is to 
react to malicious attacks.
Integrated AppSec Solutions
Integrated Application Security, or AppSec, solutions serve as an integral component of a 
comprehensive red team assessment. These solutions proactively pinpoint security threats that 
affect various aspects of software development and deployment.
AppSec can effectively help an organization mitigate risk by identifying potential vulnerabilities 
before they become security breaches.
Ready To Get Started?
If you’re considering a red team assessment for your organization, now is the perfect time to get
started. The growing complexities of cyber threats demand that organizations adopt proactive 
security measures.
A red team assessment is a strategic move in this direction, offering an in-depth understanding 
of your cybersecurity posture.
The process may seem daunting at first, given the exhaustive examination involved. But with 
professionals from a reputable penetration testing company by your side, you’ll find the journey 
more navigable.
Customer Success Stories
One recent success story includes a multinational corporation that decided to undergo a red 
team assessment. Despite having robust IT and security teams, the assessment managed to 
uncover key vulnerabilities in their system, allowing the company to take immediate steps 
toward remediation.
Another example involves a financial institution turning to a red team assessment to enhance its
security framework. After the testing, the team was able to draw a comprehensive map of the 
institution’s security vulnerabilities. The insight provided by the red team assessment informed 
changes to their security protocols, ultimately leading to a fortified IT system that withstood 
subsequent cyber-attacks.
Why Are Red Team Assessments Important?
A red team assessment is different from a regular penetration test as it explores a company’s IT
infrastructure as a whole, testing not only the system but people and processes as well. It’s a 
rare opportunity to receive this kind of holistic view of your organization, even through other 
trusted methods of cybersecurity or penetration testing, making the red team assessment one 
of the most valuable security measures available.
How Long Does It Take To Perform A Red Team 
Assessment?
Numerous factors influence the scoping of a red team penetration test, the main factors being:
● Number of business locations
● How large a client’s digital footprint is
● Number of websites and endpoints
● Number of users
● Network size
