As a 6 year old playing Baseball my Dad would admonish me to quit closing my eyes when I’m swinging at the pitch because YOU CAN’T HIT WHAT YOU CANT SEE!Well the same principle applies for Red Teaming and Continuous Automated Red Teaming! So I have switched roles here at Randori and I am now working with our Attack Team to help discover more Targets to Attack. As an Operator on the Targeting Team it is my responsibility for finding new ways to identify Targets on our customers’ attack surface and bring those to life in the Randori Platform so that our customers can better assess the risk associated with their Attack Surface and to give our Attack Team targets to attack.
