After years of acquiring Red Teaming skills, Senior Red Teamers (sometimes unexpectedly) grow into a lead position at some point in their career.
This talk focuses less on the technical facets and more on the challenges that young leaders with a strong technical background may face.
It will also look at how good leadership can contribute to employee development and retention, how innovation and automation can succeed without sacrificing quality, and how to build effective Red Teams.
As Senior Red Teamers evolve in their careers, they often find themselves transitioning into leadership roles in their company – roles that require a distinct set of skills beyond their technical expertise.
It also happens from time to time that experienced Red Teamers - e.g. when moving to a new company - build a red team from scratch.
While the new leader's experience can often be drawn on when it comes to tooling and skills, leadership experience is regularly something that can become a challenge.
This talk, "Building and Leading Advanced Red Teams," aims to provide insights and guidance to those navigating this transition.
Björn Trappe is an experienced Red Team Leader at Laokoon Security and will talk about what kind of people and personalities you should bring into your team and build them up as well as what fears and reservations often hold young managers back from being good bosses. He will also shed light on the ambivalence between control and trust and which things could be automated and which shouldn't.
Part of an effective Red Team is also the development of targeted and long-term knowledge and skills management, which is much more than a wiki.
