# Red Team

## About

Red Teaming is the act of performing Adverserial Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures ([TTPs](https://csrc.nist.gov/glossary/term/tactics_techniques_and_procedures)) to represent an attacker, such as a state sponsored threat actor, or an insider threat. It is a term created by the US Military to test battalion readiness (See [Geronimo ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/509th_Infantry_Regiment_\(United_States\))Battalion) or as an OPFOR for allied countries. 

## The Need

The point of Red Teams is to measure cyber readiness and the physical security of a company, whether internal, or external. The difference betwen a Red Team and a Penetration Test is that red teams aren't disclosed to the blue team or organisation except for an insider contact (the CISO or similar). Watch the video for a small introduction to Red Teaming.
