Red & Purple Teaming

One of the main mentality changes in testing is the shift from Prevention to Detection and Response. The view on how to identify vulnerabilities in technology is also evolving from Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) to Tactics Techniques and Procedures (TTPs).

Purple teaming is a collaborative exercise where the attacking and defending activities are openly tested, measured, and observed in real-time which includes people, processes, andtechnology aspects of the in-scope environment.

Vectra Purple Team

What is Red & Purple Teaming?

First, let’s talk about Blue and Red:

  • Blue Team: the defenders, typically they can include but are not limited to the Security Operations Centre (SOC), Threat Hunting Teams, Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR), and/or managed security service providers.
  • Red Team: the attackers, more precisely the ones who will carry out adversarial attack simulation exercises

A Purple Team is a virtual team where the following groups work together:

  • Cyber Threat Intelligence – team to research and provide threat TTPs
  • Red Team – offensive team in charge of emulating adversaries
  • Blue Team – the defenders. Security Operations Center (SOC), Hunt Team, Digital Forensics,
    and Incident Response, and/or Managed Security Service Provides (MSSP)

Why should you do Red or Purple Teaming?

  • The Purple team brings together the best of the blue and red team
  • No more finger pointing when the “right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing”
  • If the blue team is outsourced to a MSSP, the purple team helps validate the effectiveness of
    the said service, is as advertised
  • The Red or Purple Team will help drive automation. As when there is a breach, every second
    counts
  • It discovers issues that wouldn’t otherwise be uncovered easily (legacy accounts,
    unnecessary privileged access, default configurations, exposed assets etc.)
  • It fosters better communications and forge’s alliances

Network penetration testing is an imperative process that examines an organisation’s network security, including routers, switches, and firewalls. By emulating real-world attack scenarios, it uncovers vulnerabilities and reinforces defenses against cyber threats, ensuring the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of vital business information and resources.

Application penetration testing is an essential procedure that evaluates the security of software applications, identifying potential flaws and weaknesses. By simulating genuine cyberattack strategies, it unveils vulnerabilities and bolsters defenses, ensuring the safety of sensitive data and promoting robust protection against potential exploitation by malicious actors.

Infrastructure penetration testing is a crucial technique that assesses an organisation’s IT infrastructure security, encompassing servers, networks, and storage systems. By proactively identifying weak points and addressing potential risks, this approach fortifies defenses against cyberattacks, ensuring overall system stability and safeguarding critical business assets.

Mobile penetration testing is an essential practice that scrutinises the security of mobile applications, devices, and their underlying infrastructure. By simulating real-world attack scenarios, this methodology detects vulnerabilities and safeguards sensitive data, fortifying mobile ecosystems against potential threats and enhancing user privacy and protection.
