Red Teaming Explained: Choosing the Right Approach

Red teaming is one of the most talked-about areas of offensive security, but it is also one of the most misunderstood.

For some organisations, red teaming means a full-scale simulation of a realistic attacker. For others, it means a more focused engagement designed to test whether specific objectives could be achieved, whether existing controls stand up under pressure, and whether internal teams can detect and respond effectively.

This webinar explores what red teaming really is, where it fits alongside objective-led testing and adversary simulation, and how organisations can choose an approach that reflects their own risks, maturity, and priorities.

We will also look at why this matters even more now. As AI helps attackers move faster, scale activity, and make malicious behaviour more convincing, blue teams are under increasing pressure to identify what matters, investigate efficiently, and respond with confidence. A well-designed red team engagement can help organisations strengthen visibility, validate detection and response capability, and improve resilience over time.

Rather than treating red teaming as a buzzword or a one-size-fits-all exercise, this session is designed to give security leaders, technical teams, and decision-makers a clearer understanding of what these engagements involve, how they differ, and how to get meaningful value from them.

What we’ll cover

• What red teaming is and how it differs from traditional penetration testing
• The difference between red teaming, objective-led testing, and adversary simulation
• How to choose the right approach for your organisation
• What blue teams can learn from realistic offensive testing
• Why AI-driven threats are making detection and response more challenging
• How these engagements help improve resilience, visibility, and readiness

Who should attend

This session is ideal for security leads, IT leaders, blue team defenders, compliance stakeholders, and organisations looking to better understand how advanced security testing can support detection, response, and long-term resilience.
