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.

Black Hat Budgeting | Richard Bejtlich

Richard Bejtlich wrote this back in 2009. It is still very much the same today, only worse.

Earlier this month I wondered How much to spend on digital security. I’d like to put that question in a different light by imagining what a black hat could do with a $1 million budget.

[…]

… I submit that for $1 million per year an adversary could fund a Western-salaried black hat team that could penetrate and persist in roughly any target it chose to attack. This team has the structure and expertise to develop its own attack methods, execute them, and sell the results of its efforts to the highest bidders.
