Adversary simulation: what you need to know

Adversary simulation, also known as red teaming, evaluates an organization's capacity to prevent, detect, and respond to cyber attacks through controlled exercises. This practice mimics real threat activities to identify gaps in security defenses and response capabilities.

Why it matters: Security teams benefit from red teaming to validate their detection and incident response processes before a real breach occurs, reducing the risk of undetected intrusions.
