Claranet explains that a Purple Team exercise combines the strengths of Red Teams (attackers) and Blue Teams (defenders) to enhance an organization’s security posture. This collaborative approach tests existing defenses by simulating real-world attacks while enabling defenders to improve detection, response, and mitigation strategies in real time. Purple Team exercises help validate security tools, uncover gaps, and foster continuous improvement, ensuring that security operations can effectively respond when actual threats occur. This results in stronger, more resilient cybersecurity defenses tailored to the organization’s environment.
