Episode 152: What is Offensive Security?
About this episode
In this episode, Spencer and Brad dig into a question that comes up all the time: what exactly is offensive security? Hint: it’s not just “pentesting.” Offensive security covers a whole spectrum of activities, including, penetration testing, red teaming, purple teaming, adversary emulation, and more. We’ll break down what each of these means, how they’re different, and how we do things at SecurIT360. By the end, you’ll have a clearer picture of how offensive security fits into a bigger security strategy and why it’s more than just finding vulnerabilities.
