Red teaming vs pen testing
Traditional pen tests involve finding and exploiting as many vulnerabilities as possible within a set time frame. Red team testing is a much more in-depth process to see how your organization would withstand a targeted attack.
A red team test from Defense.com™ will help you:
- Assess your ability to detect and respond to threats
- Uncover weaknesses in your human, physical and cyber defenses
- Prioritize security risks based on criticality
- Learn if your organization could withstand a real-life attack
- Prove how effective your existing security investments are, and highlight any areas that need attention
After your red team test you'll get a full report detailing all security issues, helping you to build stronger defenses and prevent a real breach.
Comprehensive reporting
When you get a red team test with Defense.com™, your report will be hosted in our secure web platform. This will detail every issue found during the test and provide you with detailed remediation advice.
In addition to your PDF report, you can use Defense.com™ to quickly identify, prioritize and manage each threat, saving you time and resources.

Red team pen test FAQs
Penetration tests attempt to find all security vulnerabilities in a set of IT systems, whereas the goal of a red team assessment is to compromise your security defenses by any means necessary. A red team’s objective-based nature servers as a good simulation for an attack from a determined cyber-criminal.
Red team tests span all layers of your security defenses, including physical, cyber and procedural. While a pen test is purely a technical exercise, a red team assessment can include an on-site intrusion attempt. A red team assessment is also more targeted, and will aim to achieve any objectives set once access is gained.
By thinking like a hacker and testing every layer of your organizations' security defenses, you gain a complete holistic overview of your security risks. Red teaming is the best security assessment available and an ideal way to demonstrate to your customers that you take security seriously.
Hackers and cyber criminals target organizations of all types, industries and sizes. Small and medium-sized companies are just as likely to be targeted as enterprise businesses. This means it’s vital that every organization conducts periodic red team exercises.
Red teaming is the best way to test every layer of your security defenses, as it's the only test that encompasses cyber, human/procedural and physical testing. Red team testing enables you to find and fix your security risks before a hacker uncovers them.
For organizations with established blue teams, Defense.com™ welcomes the opportunity to create tailored plans. Co-ordinating the exercise to test specific attack strategies is a great way to test the effectiveness of your blue team in real-world situations.
