The Drill — Commissioning and Learning From a Security Drill

A red team sounds alarming, but it's really a drill: a safe, planned rehearsal in which, with your permission, a team plays a realistic attacker to see how you'd really cope. It's better to find your gaps in a drill than for real — so you run it with permission and rules, test people and response not just walls, judge it by what you learn, keep it blameless, don't rig it, and act on what it finds.

What you'll learn

• Understand a red team as a safe, permitted rehearsal of a real attack, run by a team on your side.
• See that it tests your people and response, not just your walls, and is only run with permission, rules, and safety limits.
• Judge a drill by what you learn and fix, not pass or fail, and keep it blameless — the system is on trial, not the person.
• Recognise a rigged drill as worse than useless, and act on what a drill finds — fixing gaps, guarding the report, repeating.
