The Red team’s objectives and duties include:
Compromising the target's security by extracting information, infiltrating its systems or breaching its physical perimeters all while avoiding detection by the blue team.

4. Using decoys to throw the blue team off the scent.
5. Applying social engineering and phishing techniques to manipulate employees into exposing or revealing information to compromise their machines.
The Blue team’s objectives and duties include:
Blue team is similar to a Red team in that it also assesses network security and identifies any possible vulnerabilities. a blue team is there to find ways to defend, change and re-group defence mechanisms to make incident response much stronger.
Some of the steps a blue team incorporates are:
• Security audits, such as a DNS audit
• Log and memory analysis
• Pcap
• Risk intelligence data analysis
• Digital footprint analysis
• Reverse engineering
• DDoS testing
• Developing risk scenarios
Skills and attributes for success

• Report the findings to clients and make recommendations pertinent to the attack surface, security controls, and mitigation techniques
• Act as an advisor to the client
• Answers clients’ inquiries via phone or email in a professional and timely manner
• Stay up to date on information technology trends, security standards, and IT security news
• Energetic and positive attitude
