What is a red team? How does it differ from a penetration tester's day-to-day? How do red teams stay sharp? How do they stay motivated? These are a few of the questions I seek to have answered by Curtis Brazzell, a managing Security Consultant at Pondurance. It's a great interview and sheds light on the difference between red teaming and penetration testing.
