Pentesting shows weaknesses. Red Teaming tests defenses.
A penetration test checks defined systems for vulnerabilities.Red teaming, on the other hand, pursues a specific goal – for example: “Obtain confidential data undetected.”
The entire arsenal of a real attacker is used: phishing, physical attack vectors, vulnerability exploits, social engineering – combined into a realistic operation tailored to your company.

Red Teaming as a strategic tool
Red Teaming is a targeted measure – not for everyday use, but for the moment when you want more than technical security. It is particularly suitable when:
- You have successfully completed several classic pentests
Your IT security has been strategically developed (e.g. SIEM, Blue Team, awareness programs) - you are preparing for audits, regulatory audits or internal audits
- New infrastructures, acquisitions or critical projects were implemented
- You want to know how your organization really reacts when an attack occurs
Red Teaming provides answers to questions that a normal pentest does not ask:How deep does an attacker really get? Who reacts – how quickly – and how effectively?

A comprehensive overview
Find out how realistic attack simulations reveal vulnerabilities that traditional testing methods cannot detect. The white paper shows when red teaming makes sense, what the process looks like – and why it is becoming increasingly relevant, especially in times of AI-based threats.
Who is Red Teaming suitable for?
Groups with established security structures
To check whether existing protective measures really work in an emergency.
IT managers in regulated industries
As a supplement to traditional tests and as preparation for audits.
Medium-sized companies with high risk exposure
When critical data or processes need to be specifically protected.
CISOs, CTOs & Security Leads
For a realistic assessment of responsiveness and defense strategy.
