Red Team Offensive Security refers to the practice of simulating real-world cyberattacks against an organization's systems, networks, and personnel to test detection and response capabilities. Security professionals called red teamers use techniques like penetration testing, social engineering, and adversary emulation to uncover vulnerabilities before malicious actors do. Findings are used to strengthen defenses and validate the effectiveness of a blue team's incident response.
