How to Do Breach and Attack Simulations – Red, Blue, and Purple Teams - InBrief Analysis - Worldwide

Currently, many organizations are failing to detect sophisticated attacks because of ineffective security controls, gaps in their cybersecurity defenses and inherent software or systems insecurities. What’s more, malicious actors are constantly working on designing more and more sophisticated attacks. Therefore, it is more crucial than ever to ensure that information security works efficiently and fluidly. The organization of infosec into teams helps to solve this issue and to enhance the overall cybersecurity posture of an organization. For simplicity, each infosec team has its “color” defining its skillset, role, and responsibilities.
