Red Teaming In 2026: What To Expect At Our 2026 Global Cybersecurity Summit
Rapid7, Monday, March 30th, 2026
Red teaming has always played a role in testing defenses, but in 2026 its role is changing. Security teams are no longer asking whether an attacker can get in. That question has already been answered. The real challenge is whether teams can detect, validate, and respond before an incident escalates.
That shift sits at the center of this year's Rapid7 Global Cybersecurity Summit, taking place on May 12-13. As part of the Continuous Threat Defense pillar, the summit will explore red teaming not as a standalone exercise, but as a core input into how modern security operations function day to day.
