Instead of functioning independently, as is typical in traditional cybersecurity setups, the Purple Team works together to enhance the organization’s security posture.
Their goal is to bridge the gap between attack and defense by ensuring that knowledge and findings from the Red Team’s offensive tests are shared with the Blue Team, allowing them to improve detection, response, and prevention measures.
In many organizations, cybersecurity is carried out by so-called Blue Teams, often in a very defensive way. These traditional security solutions are a good baseline but, because they are siloed, often unable to
deal with the newest advanced cyberattacks. Moreover, experienced security experts are scarce, and therefore expensive hires.
However, the costs of Security Operation Centers (SOC) can be limited: machine learning platforms automatically make attacks visible in dashboards, so security analysts may concentrate on limiting damage and halting attacks, instead of losing time trying to find out what is happening.
Large scale deployment of internal and external pen testers, the so- called Red Team, for ethical hacks is expensive and time-consuming.
In these types of offensive tests, the defending Blue Team is supposed to notice what is happening, and detect and stop the controlled attacks in time.
Fully simulating a cyber-attack can be difficult, since actual hacks may take months or even longer. Automating attack simulations solves this problem: organizations are continuously training technology and their organization, and are able to monitor security using dashboards.
