Miscreants aren't only working to exploit flaws in an enterprise's security posture, they're also looking for holes in organizations' privacy programs to steal user data, according to Meta's Scott Tenaglia.

Similar to their security counterparts, these other red teams help test organizations' privacy defenses in a controlled setting.

If you are a large organization that already uses security red teaming to stay one step ahead of potential attackers, it may be time to consider adding a privacy read team, too, said Tenaglia, engineering manager for Meta's privacy red team.

During a video interview at Black Hat, Tenaglia talked data privacy with The Register, and how these ethical hackers of the privacy world can help.

"Privacy red teaming is an attempt to add an offensive component to a holistic privacy program," Tenaglia said.

In this case, a privacy red team operation could see how much data could be scraped, and once the rate limit has been hit, look for ways to bypass the limit, Tenaglia said.
