      • What is red team certification?

        Red Team certification is a specialized cybersecurity certification that validates an individual's skills in offensive security techniques. Red team-certified professionals are trained to simulate real-world cyberattacks and conduct vulnerability assessments and penetration tests. This certification focuses on advanced penetration testing, social engineering, and threat emulation to strengthen security posture.

      • What is the difference between the red and blue teams in cybersecurity?

        In cybersecurity, the red team focuses on offense, simulating real-world attacks, finding vulnerabilities, and exploiting weaknesses in an organization's security. They usually mimic the tactics of malicious hackers. 

        However, the blue team defends, detects, responds to, and mitigates these simulated attacks. In short, the red team tries to break in, and the blue team protects the system, maintaining the dynamics of organizational security. Simplilearn’s network security course covers both concepts, which will help you explore a career in cybersecurity.
