Red Teaming Research:CAGR of 12.0% during the forecast period

Red Teaming Market Summary

Red Teaming is a service that involves simulating real-world cyber-attacks on an organization's systems, networks, and infrastructure in order to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses that could be exploited by malicious actors. Red Teamers use a variety of techniques and tools to mimic the tactics, techniques, and procedures of actual hackers, with the goal of helping the organization improve its security posture and better defend against cyber threats. The results of a Red Teaming engagement can help organizations enhance their security controls, policies, and procedures, and ultimately strengthen their overall cybersecurity defenses.

Red teams will try to use the same tools and techniques employed by real-world attackers. However, unlike cybercriminals, red teamers don't cause actual damage. Instead, they expose cracks in an organization's security measures.

Some common red-teaming tools and techniques include:

Social engineering: Uses tactics like phishing, smishing and vishing to obtain sensitive information or gain access to corporate systems from unsuspecting employees.

Physical security testing: Tests an organization's physical security controls, including surveillance systems and alarms.

Application penetration testing: Tests web apps to find security issues arising from coding errors like SQL injection vulnerabilities.

Network sniffing: Monitors network traffic for information about an environment, like configuration details and user credentials.

Tainting shared content: Adds content to a network drive or another shared storage location that contains malware programs or exploits code. When opened by an unsuspecting user, the malicious part of the content executes, potentially allowing the attacker to move laterally.

Brute forcing credentials: Systematically guesses passwords, for example, by trying credentials from breach dumps or lists of commonly used passwords.

Today, most red teaming engagements are delivered via the consulting business-based model, which leverages a variety of toolsets and non-standard approaches. While this model can offer valid findings, it doesn't enable in-house teams for remediation. For these reasons, traditional red teams may miss the critical risks they were hired to discover. Furthermore, this model requires more time and experienced in-house personnel to set up. The old-school model also doesn't leverage technology to integrate findings with the in-house team's tech stack.

Red teaming and penetration testing are both security assessment techniques that stimulate an attack on an organization's security infrastructure to test its strength and identify vulnerabilities. However, both differ in their approach, scope, and objectives.

Penetration testing is a practice where the testers use different tools and techniques to identify vulnerabilities in the organization's IT infrastructure. The main objective of penetration testing is to identify as many possible vulnerabilities in a system, network, or application in a short time period. Therefore, it mostly follows a predefined and structured methodology to target vulnerabilities.

In contrast, red teaming is more complex technically. It mimics a real-life attacker with no time limitations and implements a thorough and deep exercise of testing the security posture. The main objective of red team assessment is to eventually gain access to a specific data, folder, or system, as pre-determined by the organization's internal team. Therefore, the red team assessment is designed specifically for the test objective, where the group deploys all attacker-intended tactics on the organization's internal security personnel and controls to achieve the objective no matter the duration of the attack.

Overall, red teaming is more holistic compared to penetration testing, as it tests the strength of an organization's security culture, not just its systems.

Red teaming offers the significant advantage of uncovering hidden vulnerabilities in an organization's IT systems, physical security measures, and security processes that are missed in traditional security audits due to a lack of context. By simulating realistic attacks, organizations can test and improve their defenses under real-world conditions. Red teaming promotes security awareness among employees and ensures that an organization can respond quickly and effectively to security incidents. It can also build trust with customers and partners by demonstrating an organization's proactive approach to cybersecurity.

Red teaming is a pertinent security measure for a multitude of organizations and industries seeking to enhance their defensive capabilities and be prepared for potential threats. Companies that manage sensitive data or operate in highly regulated industries, such as finance, healthcare, and energy, will particularly benefit from this form of security testing. Large companies with complex IT infrastructures and global operations also rely on red teaming to identify and eliminate potential technical or procedural vulnerabilities.

Even smaller companies that have limited resources but are still attractive targets for cybercriminals can also achieve significant security improvements through red teaming. Red teaming can also be a suitable approach if an organization has undergone major changes, as it can help to identify potential security risks that may not be immediately apparent.



With the frequent occurrence of cyber-attacks and the deepening awareness of cyber security threats by enterprises, more and more enterprises are aware of the importance of proactive security testing and simulated attacks. Red teaming service can help enterprises discover security vulnerabilities and weaknesses in advance, so as to take corresponding protective measures, so the demand for red teaming service will continue to increase.

In some industries, such as finance, telecommunications, energy, etc., regulatory agencies have increasingly stringent requirements for corporate cyber security, and enterprises need to conduct regular security assessments and tests to meet compliance requirements. As a professional security testing method, red teaming service will receive more attention and demand from more enterprises.

North America dominated the red teaming service market in terms of geography in 2023, and it is anticipated that it will continue to do so throughout the forecast period due to the rising use of cutting-edge technologies for automation across industries, including cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. But due to increased awareness of red teaming service and an increase in the number of SMEs using cloud-based security testing in the region, Asia-Pacific is anticipated to experience significant growth rate during the forecast period.

The widespread use of cloud computing products and services as well as the rise in data center construction are fostering the expansion of the worldwide red teaming service industry. However, the growth of the red teaming service market is being constrained by a lack of highly qualified security professionals and high implementation costs.

Today, most red teaming engagements are delivered via the consulting business-based model, which leverages a variety of toolsets and non-standard approaches. While this model can offer valid findings, it doesn't enable in-house teams for remediation. For these reasons, traditional red teams may miss the critical risks they were hired to discover. Furthermore, this model requires more time and experienced in-house personnel to set up. The old-school model also doesn't leverage technology to integrate findings with the in-house team's tech stack.
