Improving the Enterprise Security Posture with Purple Teaming

The key to achieving a complete, real-time picture of security posture is to use a purple teaming paradigm for continuous assessment.


The cybersecurity industry is at a critical juncture. The last decade has laid a solid foundation of security operations and compliance concepts.


But it is becoming obvious that despite this robust foundation, businesses are still getting infiltrated and teams still struggle with what tasks to prioritize. Furthermore, security programs are being bombarded with new tools and vendors promoting the latest technology, all while suffering a skills shortage.


Essentially, the security program’s objective can quickly be lost in the jumble of technology options, time constraints, and data overload.


In the end, every company must answer the question, “How do adversaries breach the environment and how quickly can they stop them?”Organizations become vulnerable when the focus of the task shifts too far away from this core question.


Purple teaming can help keep everyone focused on that crucial question, but only if it is utilized as a mindset, a method of addressing and prioritizing the never-ending demands that security teams face.


Purple teaming is an exciting concept in cybersecurity, but it’s easy to misunderstand it and dismiss it without fully exploring it. Purple teaming, when implemented carefully, can transform the way security work is done and how the C-suite understands and communicates an organization’s security posture.


The Need for Purple Teaming


Purple teaming aims to break down cultural barriers, increase communication, and upgrade everyone’s skills and capabilities. This approach can significantly shorten the mean time to remediation for reported vulnerabilities and risks, as well as swiftly uncover important security shortfalls.
