In a penetration test, an attacker scenario is defined, which is usually specified by the audited organisation. In red teaming, a substantive goal is defined, e.g. to take control of a control system.
The Red Team usually comes as an attacker from outside and is free to choose its attack targets and methodology. The goal is to find out whether the Blue Team, i.e. the defence, can recognise and defend against the attacks. Many organisations cannot do this.
