A Red Team Assessment is broader and more sophisticated than a standard penetration test. While penetration testing focuses on identifying technical vulnerabilities within a system or network, a Red Team Assessment simulates full-scale attacks, including social engineering, physical breaches, and post-exploitation techniques. Red Team exercises are goal-oriented, often targeting high-value assets to test how far an attacker can go. This approach evaluates the overall effectiveness of your security controls, response procedures, and personnel readiness, making it more comprehensive in uncovering organizational weaknesses.
