CISA Red Team Compromised Two Critical Infrastructure Orgs, One Detected Nothing

CISA conducted simultaneous red team assessments against two critical infrastructure organizations using comparable techniques, fully compromising both at the domain level. One organization detected the attack while the other detected nothing, revealing disparate defensive capabilities. The assessment highlights the gap between security maturity across critical infrastructure entities.

Why it matters: Critical infrastructure operators must evaluate their own detection and response capabilities against this benchmark; failure to detect sophisticated red team activity suggests gaps in logging, monitoring, or threat hunting that adversaries will exploit.
