About: What are Red Teams? We're sort of like the special forces units of the security industry—highly skilled teams hired to break into the clients' own networks and premises. We find the security flaws so they can be patched before someone with more malicious plans gets in.
The goal of Red Team operations is to continuously challenge the plans, defensive measures and concepts of the organization. These exercises result in a better understanding of possible adversaries and help to improve counter measures against them and future threats.

Offensive security research community helping bad guys | Zero Day

Adobe security chief Brad Arkin has a message for the benevolent security research community: Your work is driving down the cost and complexities of attacks against computer networks.

During a keynote presentation at the Kaspersky security analyst summit (see disclosure), Arkin said the intellectual pursuit of exploiting software vulnerabilities and defeating mitigations is simply providing a roadmap for the bad guys to break into computer systems.

He might have a point, however he is from Adobe, one of the worst security offenders out there today.

The article is interesting nonetheless.
