What is purple teaming?

Purple teaming is a cyber security practice designed to improve an organization’s security posture by fostering collaboration and communication between two key teams: the red team and the blue team. This approach is rooted in the idea that security can be strengthened more effectively when the offensive (red) and defensive (blue) sides of cyber security work together.

The primary objective of a Purple Teaming engagement is to improve an organization’s overall cybersecurity posture by testing and enhancing its ability to detect, respond to, and mitigate advanced cyber threats. Purple Teaming is a collaborative and structured approach to security testing and assessment that brings together the Red Team and Blue Team, each representing a different perspective. It provides a proactive and hands-on approach to security assessment and improvement, helping organizations better prepare for real-world cyber threats.

While some organizations opt for one-off, well-defined purple teaming engagements with clearly outlined security objectives, timelines, and key deliverables, others incorporate it as an ongoing practice. In both cases, the process includes a formal evaluation of lessons learnt throughout the engagement. It also entails the identification of areas where offensive and defensive strategies may fall short, along with recommendations for future training and technical enhancements.
