“The cybersecurity and automation software provider says its purchase of Amsterdam-based Outflank will provide clients with a broader range of red-teaming software and services thanks to Outflank's tight integration with Cobalt Strike, says John Grancarich, executive vice president of strategy at Fortra. Clients will also benefit from Outflank's sophisticated security testing and pen-testing product capabilities.

"Red teaming really mimics the tactics, the techniques and the procedures that are used by real-world attackers to test the resilience of any organization today, says Grancarich. Businesses providing red teaming have really seen the demand for their services grow."
