Your organization wants to evaluate its cybersecurity defenses. A penetration test will be performed without informing the personnel responsible for monitoring and response. Which type of team typically conducts this stealth assessment?
Red teams simulate real attackers by launching stealthy, multi-vector intrusions against an organization. To assess detection and response capabilities, the blue (defensive) team is deliberately kept unaware of the exercise. White teams coordinate and adjudicate the test, while purple teams facilitate collaboration between red and blue.
