Learn how IBM X-Force® Red teams apply their expertise to IoT testing, and what the latest Red Lab has to offer clients.
A programmatic approach to offensive security
X-Force® Red is an autonomous team of veteran hackers, within IBM Security, hired to break into organizations and uncover risky vulnerabilities that criminal attackers may use for personal gain. X-Force Red offers penetration testing and vulnerability management programs to help security leaders identify and remediate security flaws covering their entire digital and physical ecosystem.
X-Force Red can do whatever criminal hackers can do, but with the goal of helping security leaders harden their defenses and protect their most important assets.
