Why you should sometimes let yourself be hacked on purpose
Just how resilient is your organisation to a cyberattack? Red teaming is the way to find out: in this exercise, someone takes on the role of an attacker, looks for vulnerabilities and identifies areas where your defences could be improved. Would you like to know how it works? Listen to this podcast!
This podcast is in Dutch.
In this episode of SURFshort, Maaike van der Wal, Information Security Officer at Erasmus University Rotterdam, takes you on a journey into the world of red teaming. You’ll discover how it works, why it’s important for your institution to do this, and what you can learn from it to make institutions more digitally resilient.
