The purple team is the team where red team and blue team members can collaborate and carry out joint work together under the cyber security departments of organizations. For example, if the members of the red team are briefing the blue team about the advanced and trending cyber attack methods, and similarly, the members of the blue team are briefing the red team about the defense methodologies against the advanced and trending cyber attack methods, then this is a purple team activity. In this way, the red team implements more effective attacks and the blue team seeks effective solutions against these attacks and raises the security to a higher level. This will eventually contribute positively to the security of the organization as a result of a joint work of both teams.
The purple team can sometimes be a separate team from the red team and the blue team, or sometimes it can be a team where some red team and blue team members come to work together. This may vary depending on the needs of the organization and the total amount of its users.
Some of the cyber security roles available in the Purple Team area are as follows:
Blue Team; It is the team that defends against attacks, eliminates security risks, and responds when cyber security incidents occur.
Blue Team tries to detect threats by monitoring security operations. Blue team goes after the threats by investigating the alerts through constant monitoring of the security tools. The blue team analyzes the malware belonging to the detected threats and determines the measures that should be taken against the threats. In addition, the incident responders within the blue team analyze the compromised devices and try to detect and remediate the damage as soon as possible. It helps to develop action plans to be implemented in the future to increase security.
