Red Team or Not to Red Team?

-

This session examined the Enterprise Security Risk Management (ESRM) framework through the practical lens of red teaming, emphasizing its value in identifying and mitigating unforeseen risks. Attendees explored how integrating red team tactics with ESRM principles can strengthen organizational resilience and improve overall security posture.

Through real-world examples and case studies, the presentation demonstrated how red teaming helps uncover previously unknown vulnerabilities. Scenarios included unconventional stress testing of executive protection programs, active assailant preparedness, mail screening operations, and counter-drone systems. The discussion reinforced the importance of hands-on testing, experimentation, and continuous evaluation to stay ahead of evolving threats across the security landscape.
