Purple Teaming

Purple Teaming is a collaborative approach to computer security that involves a red team and a blue team in testing and improving the security of a system or network.

Typically, in the context of computer security, the red team is the team that acts as the attacker and tries to exploit vulnerabilities in an existing system or network. Their job is to find security holes, identify weaknesses, and try to carry out attacks that might be carried out by real attackers. The red team can also use its advanced or senior attack techniques to test the blue team's level of preparedness in dealing with the threat.

On the other hand, the blue team is the team responsible for the defense and security of the system or network. Their job is to monitor, detect, and protect the system from attacks. Blue teams work to identify and fix vulnerabilities, implement security policies, and ensure the system remains safe from attacks.

In a purple teaming framework, both teams work together to complement each other and share knowledge. The red team helps the blue team with the attacker's perspective to identify loopholes that may have been missed. The blue team, on the other hand, works with the red team to understand the attack and fix the vulnerabilities revealed.

The main goal of purple teaming is to improve the blue team's readiness and response in the face of a real attack. With the collaboration between the red team and the blue team, organizations can identify and fix weaknesses before the real attackers exploit them. This helps improve security and reduce the risk of a successful attack.
