So is there a best practice to over come some of these execution errors or do you believe that the heavy reliability on the leadership is an error of red teaming itself?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16948896274088398371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4509736829271344872.post-44795577255946318082018-10-01T19:44:46.252-04:002018-10-01T19:44:46.252-04:00I think expanding the realm of possibilities is go...I think expanding the realm of possibilities is good, however I agree that divergent thinking could occur and potentially become unrealistic.

An obvious way to do this is to base it off of previous actions by the opponent. A significant factor in red teaming is preparing for the unknown. What if the opposition completely changes their usual operation process? This is what remains difficult to detect. I think the DoD and other agencies have increasingly taken this into account and no doubt there is always room for improvement. Other possibilities may arise if the team is better managed. I agree with Bryant that it may well be internal.

As Todd said, clarity in purpose may be important, but I think a establishing and communicating a clear direction may be of even more importance to combating some of the execution failures. Those using red-teams are usually on the defensive and at an obvious disadvantage because of the wide range of offensive possibilities. Harry's article spoke to expanding the range of possibilities as being an advantage of red-teaming. However, without proper direction, this exercise can manifest into divergent thinking. Although its important to understand ALL adversary possibilities, providing the team with a clear sense of the objectives of both the exercise and the greater strategic mission at hand will help mitigate execution failures.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11402199214046211213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4509736829271344872.post-82884993085581035272018-09-30T15:56:02.966-04:002018-09-30T15:56:02.966-04:00Did the report refer to membership of red teams in...Did the report refer to membership of red teams in the section titled "What Makes An Effective Red Team?"

For those within the organization tasked with the responsibilities of acting as an adversary, not only must they adopt a new perspective but they must undertake the task seriously if it will prove to be a worthwhile activity. Ensuring that the red team members understand the reason for this task and how it will help the organization in the long run seems to be a critical first step in a successful red teaming exercise.
