Continuous Automated Red Teaming (CART)
Continuous Automated Red Teaming is an automated security testing model that repeatedly emulates realistic adversary behavior to measure how well an organization detects, blocks, and responds to attacks over time.
What Is CART?
CART applies the objectives of red teaming to a repeatable and scalable operating model. Instead of relying only on periodic human-led exercises, it automates selected attack scenarios so teams can validate defenses more frequently and across a larger portion of the environment.
How CART Works
- Scenario Selection: Choose adversary techniques or attack chains to emulate
- Safe Execution: Launch controlled simulations against approved targets
- Outcome Analysis: Measure prevention, detection, and response results
- Continuous Repetition: Re-run tests after changes, tuning, or remediation
Why CART Matters
Traditional red teaming is valuable but limited by time, scope, and cost. CART extends coverage between manual engagements and helps teams track whether security readiness is improving or degrading over time.
How FourCore ATTACK Relates
FourCore ATTACK helps teams run controlled adversary emulation at scale, validate security control performance, and continuously retest important exposures after infrastructure or policy changes.
