In the intricate realm of cybersecurity, where threats lurk in shadows and technology advances elusively, the term “Purple Team” emerges as a key guardian.
Let us begin our journey to demystify the mystique of the Purple Team and see how it conducts its concert of security. From SNS where “Technically Perfect, Practically Feasible Solutions” is not merely a slogan but a way of life; we start this quest.
What is a Purple Team in Cybersecurity?
In cybersecurity, traditional approaches often divide defences into the Red Team & Blue Team. The Red Team simulates attacks, while the Blue Team focuses on detection and response.
The Purple Team emerges as the orchestrator, uniting these seemingly opposing forces into a proactive security strategy.
- The Fusion of Red and Blue –
The term “Purple Team” is derived from merging Red Team (Offensive Security) and Blue Team (Defensive Security). The Purple Team functions as a unified entity, using the strengths of both sides to enhance security.
- Collaborative Testing and Learning –
Purple Teaming extends beyond testing defences; it’s a collaborative learning process. The Red Team intentionally shares their Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) with the Blue Team. Thus, fostering a symbiotic relationship that cultivates a culture of continuous improvement.
- Real-world Simulation –
By simulating actual attack scenarios in the real time, Purple Team offers companies a more realistic evaluation of their security posture. This goes beyond theorizing vulnerabilities giving an in-depth understanding of how effective the security measures apply under duress.
- Proactive Threat Hunting –
Purple Teams are proactive in nature. Instead of waiting for weaknesses to surface, they proactively search for vulnerabilities so that potential threats are identified and addressed before any impact.
- Transparent Communication –
Transparent communication is one of the bedrock in Purple Team’s philosophy. Findings derived from Red Team activities are disseminated to the Blue Team. This open sharing of information enables an easy exchange of knowledge that facilitates collective learning & improvement.
- Adaptable Defence Strategies –
Purple Team offers organizational insights enabling them to improvise & rectify their cyber defence strategies further. This flexibility is crucial as new attack vectors seem to emerge on a regular basis.
