With a combined experience of 30 years, Ana and Shawn share their insights on the importance of integrating these two realms to fortify organizational defenses against evolving threats.

The conversation highlights the critical distinctions between penetration testing and red teaming. Ana and Shawn explain how red teaming goes beyond traditional pen testing by adopting an adversary's perspective, aiming to challenge and improve the existing security measures.

By leveraging threat intelligence, Ana and Shawn illustrate how organizations can anticipate and mitigate potential security breaches. Their expertise underscores the necessity of a holistic security strategy that encompasses both cyber and physical aspects, urging businesses to reassess and strengthen their security posture.
