Description: The ‘Guided Attack’ refers to a cybersecurity strategy in which an attacker carries out an attack in a controlled and methodical manner, following a specific plan to achieve a determined objective. This approach differs from more random or indiscriminate attacks, as it involves careful planning and the use of advanced techniques to maximize the attack’s effectiveness. In the context of the dynamics between Red Team and Blue Team, the Guided Attack is used to simulate real threats and assess the defense’s response capability. Red Teams, representing the attackers, design guided attacks to test system vulnerabilities, while Blue Teams, responsible for defense, must identify and mitigate these threats. This type of attack is crucial for training and educating security teams, as it allows for a realistic assessment of defenses and helps improve protection strategies. Additionally, the Guided Attack may include the use of specific tools and social engineering techniques, making it an essential component in fostering a cybersecurity culture within organizations.
