Red Teams can enhance hospital security by evaluating campus protection measures and challenging assumptions, according to an article on the Campus Safety website.
A “Red Team” is comprised of two or more people who are playing the role of the enemy. In the case of hospital security, the “enemy” could be a criminal intent on stealing or destroying assets within your facility, a terrorist planning an active shooter attack or any other scenario you develop, the article said.
A Red Team member is someone unknown to the occupants who can challenge security in a realistic manner by attempting to infiltrate secured areas and to conduct surveillance.
