What does a red teamer do?
Career: Red Teamer
A Red Teamer is a cybersecurity professional who simulates real-world attacks to identify vulnerabilities in an organization's security defenses. They use tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) similar to those of real attackers to test networks, applications, and employee awareness. The goal is to improve security by exposing weaknesses before malicious actors can exploit them. Red Teamers often work closely with Blue Teams (defensive security) to strengthen overall defense strategies.
