Purple Teaming
The purple teaming is an information security approach that brings together red-team and blue-team competencies. In essence, it develops a teamwork environment in which each team assists the other in analysing various securities at an organisation. This cooperation will highlight the strengths and weaknesses so that it can lead to the creation of efficient defence strategies. The purple team exercises seek to train, sharpen, and improve people, processes, as well as IT systems in a production environment by mimicking the behaviours of an actual enemy to prepare the organisation against cyber threats.
The Necessity of Purple Teaming
The purple Team concept should be adopted in cybersecurity to ensure effective security, wherein offence and defence units complement one another in making an organisation’s defence structures more solid than before.
Key Advantages
- Synergy in Action: There is a better security posture that comes from synergizing offensive appraisals of Red teaming with the defensible plans of Blue teaming.
- Realistic Assurance: The Purple Team simulates real-world threats and helps businesses quantify their security controls.
- Immediate Feedback: It is a continuous activity which gives real-time data depending on the organisation’s goal.
- Comprehensive Defense: The organisation finds out the weaknesses of its controls by carrying out purple teaming thereby increasing resilience.
- Focused Security: Threat mirroring and tailored objective assessment of threats according to known threat actors assist organisations in matching their security practices and resources with proven risks through objective and risk-tailored assessment.
- Holistic Approach: Purple Teaming includes positive attributes of Red Team and Blue Teams for an efficient cyber defence plan.
