Red Teaming of advanced information assurance concepts

Red Teaming is an advanced form of assessment that can be used to identify weaknesses in a variety of cyber systems. It is especially beneficial when the target system is still in development when designers can readily affect improvements. This paper discusses the red team analysis process and the author's experiences applying this process to five selected Information Technology Office (ITO) projects. Some detail of the overall methodology, summary results from the five projects, and lessons learned are contained within this paper.
