Teaching the Art of Red Teaming

Brian Isle teaches a formal analytic Red Team assessment process to help his graduate students grasp the concept of risk and provide a hands-on experience with assessment methods and tools. The Red Team process is the result of 10+ years performing Red Teaming activities combined with DoD funded research focused on improving the repeatability and efficiency of the assessment process. The process has been broadly applied to a wide range of cyber-physical systems and proven effective in producing quality results. This presentation will provide a brief overview of the genesis of the formal process, the Red Team process, and the methods Brian employs to teach the process. In addition, Brian will share some highlights of the student’s analysis and his observations on teaching abstract topics.
