Red Teams have become a common tool for testing enterprise security. They attempt to penetrate security defenses as if they were hackers with nefarious intent. Atomicorp's Mike Shinn comments that bad security is almost always the result of limited imagination. Red teams are motivated to be creative and determine the best way to circumvent security measures in place, sometimes by any means possible. Mike has been red teaming since the 1990's, before there was a term for the practice. He breaks down how red teams operate, their objectives, the difference between physical and digital vulnerabilities and how constraints can limit their value. He also shares some stories about past red teaming experience. Enjoy!
