Red Team Fundamentals: Adversary Simulation and MITRE ATT&CK

<p>Follow Renata Cruz, a red team lead at boutique security firm GreyFalcon Security, as she runs Anchorpoint Mutual's first true red team engagement for the insurance company's newly hired CISO, Daniel Osei. Across five lessons, Renata explains why a red team engagement is fundamentally different from Anchorpoint's annual penetration test, builds an adversary emulation plan against a realistic financially-motivated threat-actor profile mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK framework using real technique IDs like T1078 and T1059 for planning and communication purposes, negotiates a signed rules of engagement and a deconfliction channel with the blue team before a single simulated action begins, runs the engagement while tracking detection coverage across the ATT&CK matrix, and delivers a board-ready debrief that turns the whole simulation into ATT&CK-mapped findings and a prioritized remediation roadmap.</p>
