Description: Physical Penetration Testing is a systematic evaluation conducted at an organization’s facilities to identify vulnerabilities in its physical security. These tests involve simulating real attacks to assess the effectiveness of implemented security measures, such as access controls, surveillance, and incident response protocols. Through these evaluations, weaknesses that could be exploited by intruders, whether external or internal, are sought. Tests may include techniques such as ‘tailgating’, where an attacker attempts to enter a restricted area by following an authorized employee, or manipulating security systems like cameras and alarms. The importance of these tests lies in the fact that physical security is a critical component of overall security, as a breach in physical security can lead to compromises of valuable data and assets. In the context of Red Team vs Blue Team, the red team (Red Team) is responsible for conducting penetration tests, while the blue team (Blue Team) focuses on defending and improving existing security measures. This dynamic allows organizations to strengthen their security posture by identifying and remediating vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by malicious actors.
