In essence - learn the business to attack the business.

Many people get excited and forget that the primary objective of adversary simulation exercises, is to identify and minimize attack paths.

Identification of attack pathsMeasure the number and nature of potential attack paths identified by the red team.

The focus on attack path minimization ensures that adversary simulations go beyond theoretical vulnerabilities and address the practical aspects of an organization's security posture.
