Red teaming. It really is a practice as old as the Devil's Advocate, the 11th-century Vatican formal charged with discrediting candidates for sainthood. Today, red teams - comprised mostly of fearless skeptics and the ones assuming the role of saboteurs who seek to raised understand the hobbies, intentions, and capabilities of institutions or potential opponents - are being used widely in both open public and private sector. Red teaming, including simulations, vulnerability probes, and choice analyses, helps institutions in competitive surroundings to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses, challenge assumptions, and anticipate potential dangers ahead of the next special procedures raid, destructive cyberattack, or corporate merger. However, not all red teams are created equal; indeed, some cause more damage than they prevent.

But red teams are only as good as leaders allow them to be, and Zenko shows not only how to set-up and empower red teams, but also what to do with the information they produce. Essential tuning in for business leaders and policymakers as well, Red Team will revolutionize just how organizations think about, exploit, make up for, and right their institutional advantages and weaknesses. Pulling on little-known case studies and unprecedented access to elite red teamers in america and in foreign countries, Zenko shows how any group - from military products to friendly hackers - can win by thinking like the foe.
