Key Lessons Learned from Alethe Denis’s Red Team Adventures
-
People are the first line of defense.
Even with all the right tools and prep, it was human vigilance — especially from receptionists and security staff — that blocked infiltration attempts. Well-trained people can be the strongest security layer. -
Good reconnaissance builds great pretexts.
The best cover stories come after thorough research. Building a believable narrative based on real company details makes social engineering far more effective than recycling old scenarios. -
Physical risks are still real.
Simple things like poor document disposal and outdated Wi-Fi credentials left in the trash can open unexpected doors for attackers. Physical recon, like dumpster diving, remains a valuable (and underestimated) tactic. -
Professionalism matters, even when things go wrong.
When a plan starts to fall apart, exiting gracefully keeps trust intact. Respectful handling of failed scenarios can strengthen client relationships and even lead to future opportunities. -
Red teaming is about improving, not "winning."
Whether successful or not, red team exercises reveal critical blind spots and give organizations actionable insights to strengthen their security posture. Every engagement is a chance to learn and improve.
