PINK TEAM

A new shade of red teaming.

Humans are the most hackable systems.

 

Security knowledge exists in places the industry rarely looks.

Pink Team studies the forms of security people build before they are ever hired to do security: screening strangers, setting boundaries, managing reputation, sharing warnings, protecting identity, and making decisions under pressure.

Some of the best security people learned to read risk before anyone called it security.

The goal is to understand what the industry is missing and turn that knowledge into something rigorous, testable, and useful.

HUMAN-LAYER SECURITY

People are part of the attack surface.

Trust, authority, familiarity, urgency, intimacy, and reputation can all become ways into a system.

KNOWLEDGE IN PLAIN SIGHT

Security knowledge exists outside traditional careers.

People who have had to screen strangers, protect identities, manage risk, or detect manipulation often build sophisticated security instincts without formal titles.

THE WORK

Turn instinct into method.

Pink Team is interested in documenting, testing, and developing human security knowledge into a repeatable way to assess risk.

The future of security will require technical expertise.
It will also require a deeper understanding of people.

Pink Team is developing the human side of red teaming.
