Essentially, what it comes down to is that no one wants to be a target and no one wants to be pwned by the red team and everyone wants to be the one to catch us. I personally have never seen such a positive response to security in all my years working in information security. However, contrary to my initial thoughts, the results we have seen because of being aggressive have been able to drive a substantial change in the security culture of our organization. I thought that we would receive major push back development and devops teams. Initially, I felt that having this aggressive tactic was bad. Everyone from executives to interns are a target. We perform social engineering, phishing and hacking attacks on a regular basis. What it really comes down to is our red team has 1 major rule: Attackers donвЂ™t discriminate between production and QA and test so neither should we. A real world attacker could care less about scope. One of the major differences between red teaming and penetration testing is scope. Having previously done penetration testing it was quite the adjustment in mindset. Recently I have had the privilege of participating in and assisting in the implementation of a red team at a large corporation. This might not be a popular opinion but has anyone here actually gone through a 500+ page scan report page by page and understood the real impact of the vulnerabilities that were found? Have you ever seen any progress being made off a 500+ page report? This antiquated approach to security is flawed and actually puts organizations in danger. Having worked in a security context for a majority of my career I know that scan reports suck and are completely broken.

Looking at your infrastructure and code from the viewpoint of an attacker allows for a better security understanding of the weaknesses and strengths of an application, service, datacenter and cloud. One of the foundational cornerstones of DevSecOps is red teaming.
