I can’t sit here and pretend to have the experience necessary to give prescriptive advice on how to build and run a successful Red Team function at your organization. While I’ve been an early hire for two red team functions at two different organizations, it has not yet been my responsibility to ensure the success of the function. However, being involved early, I was able to see first hand multiple things that threatened the function. Additionally, I’ve been involved in the broader red teaming community for close to 10 years; I’ve seen many organizations grow their teams and I’ve seen their struggles.
