Continuous Automated Red Teaming (CART)

Key Points

  • Continuous Automated Red Teaming (CART) transforms traditional, periodic red‑team exercises into an always‑on, scalable service that can be used by organizations of any size.
  • Unlike annual penetration tests that provide only a snapshot, CART continuously probes evolving assets and threat vectors, delivering real‑time insight into both known and hidden vulnerabilities.
  • By integrating with Attack Surface Management (ASM) tools, CART discovers shadow IT, validates remediation efforts, and creates a feedback loop that rapidly reduces risk.
  • This automation lowers cost and time barriers, enabling proactive, iterative security improvements without the need for extensive manual configuration or dedicated red‑team resources.
