Red teaming. It is a practice as old as the Devil's Advocate, the
eleventh-century Vatican official charged with discrediting
candidates for sainthood. Today, red teams,comprised primarily of
fearless skeptics and those assuming the role of saboteurs who seek
to better understand the interests, intentions, and capabilities of
institutions or potential competitors,are used widely in both the
public and private sector. Red teaming, including simulations,
vulnerability probes, and alternative analyses, helps institutions
in competitive environments to identify vulnerabilities and
weaknesses, challenge assumptions, and anticipate potential threats
ahead of the next special operations raid, malicious cyberattack,
or corporate merger. But not all red teams are created equal
indeed, some cause more damage than they prevent. In Red Team ,
national security expert Micah Zenko provides an in-depth
investigation into the work of red teams, revealing the best
practices, most common pitfalls, and most effective applications of
these modern-day Devil's Advocates. The best practices of red
teaming can be applied to the CIA, NYPD, or a pharmaceutical
company, and executed correctly they can yield impressive results:
red teams give businesses an edge over their competition, poke
holes in vital intelligence estimates, and troubleshoot dangerous
military missions long before boots are on the ground. But red
teams are only as good as leaders allow them to be, and Zenko shows
not only how to create and empower red teams, but also what to do
with the information they produce.Essential reading for business
leaders and policymakers alike, Red Team will revolutionize the way
organizations think about, exploit, compensate for, and correct
their institutional strengths and weaknesses. Drawing on
little-known case studies and unprecedented access to elite red
teamers in the United States and abroad, Zenko shows how any
group,from military units to friendly hackers,can win by thinking
like the enemy.
