# Red Team Evaluation

Red Team Evaluation simulates real-world adversarial attacks against your AI system by generating prompts based on the APE objectives and techniques.

## Prerequisites

Before starting a Red Team evaluation, you should have:

- A system prompt to test
- The model(s) that power the application


## Best Practices

- **Compare Versions**: Run evaluations on both original and enhanced prompts to measure improvement.
- **Review Failed Attacks**: Understanding why attacks failed is as important as knowing which succeeded.
- **Use Appropriate Models**: Match the target model to what you're actually using in production.

## Run New Evaluation

1. In the Console, select **Security Testing > Red Teaming**.
2. Click **Run New Evaluation**. The Create Red Team Evaluation slideout displays.
3. Enter a name for the evaluation.
4. Enter the target system prompt.
5. Select a target model.
  - Select a model that is similar to what you have in your environment to simulate the attacks against your system prompt.
  - **Disclaimer**: Models marked with a `beta` designation may be subject to lower usage quotas, limited availability, or ongoing development changes. As a result, these models may exhibit unexpected results, reduced performance, or intermittent failures during testing. Users should account for these limitations when selecting beta models.

6. Optionally, click **Advanced Options** to expand the section.
  - Select a project to apply runtime rulesets to interaction tagging.
    - If no project is selected, the default project is used.
  - Select an execution strategy.
    - **Single**: Runs each technique once per objective.
    - **Random**: Runs all techniques plus N additional random techniques.
      - Select the number of additional random techniques.

    - **Static prompt set**: Uses a predefined set of static prompts for evaluation.
      - Select the prompt set from the drop-down list.
  - Set the maximum number of conversation turns allowed per technique when attempting to achieve an objective. The minimum is one and the maximum is five.
    - The attack simulator will do multi-turn, trying to attack the target for N turns, and then go to the next session.
    - **Note**: If you selected `static_prompt_set`, then **Attacker Max Turns to Complete Objective** is not available.
  - Set the number of independent sessions to run for each technique. The minimum is one and the maximum is five.
    - This is the number of times you want to run the same technique or static prompt.
7. Click **Start Evaluation**.
8. When the evaluation completes, click the green arrow to view the results. See [Red Team Evaluation Summary](/docs/products/console/attack_simulation_red_teaming_evaluation_summary) for more information.
