Red Teaming is a tool for analyzing systems from a malevolent adversarial perspective. It is often used as an objective tool to optimize systems by eliminating their weaknesses in a design/assess cycle. It can also be applied to guide system development, train system operators, develop adversarial profiles and footprints, and analyze intelligence data from a particular perspective.
Because red teaming is a dynamic process, it is valuable for studying dynamic problems. In contrast, static analysis is not able to handle current, dynamic threats. Sandia’s unique multi-program environment allows reproduction of a range of threats, from low-level threats through sophisticated nation-state adversaries. We use red teaming throughout our technology development process, from concept, through R&D, prototyping, and development.
Further, Sandia’s strong foundation in the methodology ensures results that are measurable, actionable, and reproducible. That foundation was gained through 50 years of design assessment and security expertise.
Our red teams are composed of specialists in red teaming methodologies and processes, augmented by experts in specific systems or technologies. The teams are further enabled by training programs and ready access to methodologies, tools, databases, and facilities. We offer specific expertise in assessing cyber systems, including a network and wireless security program; cryptographic research and development; and SCADA and agent software systems. Our customers have included most government departments and agencies, industry, and even some foreign governments.
Sandia also has significant experience red teaming U.S. critical infrastructure systems, across sectors that include electric power, oil and gas, transportation, financial, and telecommunications.
