IBM X-Force Red

IBM X-Force Red is designed for organizations that need offensive security services covering penetration testing, vulnerability management and adversary simulation.

IBM X-Force Red provides offensive security services designed to identify weaknesses before attackers can exploit them. IBM describes a team of security specialists that performs penetration testing, vulnerability management and adversary simulation across digital and physical environments. Engagements can help organizations understand how vulnerabilities could be combined into realistic attack paths and where defensive controls need improvement. The service can support application, network, cloud, infrastructure and physical security testing depending on scope. X-Force Red is a professional security service rather than a software product, so testing methods and deliverables are tailored to the systems, risks and objectives defined for each engagement.

Common use cases include red teaming, penetration testing, security testing and AI red teaming.
