# What is Red Teaming?

It is a method of finding vulnerabilities by pretending to be a malicious user to test the security of a system.

## Overview
Red teaming is the simulation of a team trying to bypass a system's defenses. This team measures how resilient the system is using methods that attackers can use. The goal is to close all vulnerabilities before an actual attack occurs.

*Analogy: It's like hiring a professional thief to test the doors and alarms of a bank and asking him to try to rob the bank.*

## How it works
Security experts push the system to its limits, attempt to crack passwords or send incorrect commands. The results are reported and firewalls are strengthened accordingly.

## Where it is used
It is used in the cyber security departments of large companies and in testing the security of artificial intelligence models.

## Commonly confused with
Not to be confused with a regular security scan; This is a creative and human-centered attack simulation.

## Frequently asked questions
**Why is this method needed?**
Because standard security tests cannot always catch creative attack methods.

**How is it implemented in artificial intelligence models?**
By asking harmful questions to the model, it is checked whether the model breaks the rules.
