Red Team

Definition

Security team that simulates real-world attacks to test an organization's defenses and identify vulnerabilities. Like having a team of friendly burglars test your security.

Real-World Example

The red team attempts to phish employees, exploit network vulnerabilities, and breach physical security to find weaknesses before real attackers do.

Cloud Provider Equivalencies

Red Team is a security practice (an adversary-simulation exercise), not a single cloud service. All major cloud providers support red teaming through security tooling, logging, and incident response services, but the red team itself is typically an internal function or a specialized consulting engagement.
