Incorporating AI in Cybersecurity has been most prominent in blue team practices, enhancing defensive workflows through automation, from anomaly detection and log analysis to report generation. With vast amounts of data handled and daily repetitive tasks, these cases align well with the concept of AI assistance. However, this AI-driven mindset is also becoming relevant to red teaming, focusing on enhancing speed and adaptability during red teaming engagements.

In this presentation, we will explore how AI can effectively support red team workflows by automating the preparation stage of the pipeline, focused on developing certain outcomes, such as infrastructure setup, scripting, and social engineering prompts. We present real-world use cases demonstrating AI's value in executing these tasks, while addressing the challenges and limitations in accuracy where the operator's expertise is still essential.

Furthermore, we will also deal with the things to consider when making AI your red team companion, with an emphasis on prompt handling and ethical considerations. Based on direct experience of integrating AI into red teaming engagements, our insights will provide a balanced view of AI's role, not as a replacement for human operators, but as a supporting 6th man that enhances efficiency and adaptability within red team operations.
