A penetration test and red team audit have similar goals, but different approaches. Penetration testing focuses on identifying vulnerabilities and security flaws in a specific environment. Red teaming, on the other hand, goes a step further and simulates a real attack on an organization to comprehensively test its defensive capabilities, among other things. Red teams act like a real attacker and use various tactics, techniques and procedures to exploit vulnerabilities and find weaknesses.
