A More Effective Approach to Purple Teaming

October 2020

Purple team exercises help SOCs detect attacks more effectively. By simulating attacks across the kill-chain, analysts can identify high-risk blind spots on their estate and develop an understanding of how attackers behave to conceal their movements. For CISOs, knowing which detection controls are going to let you down during an attack is the evidence needed for prioritizing investment.

Meet our security consultant Derek Stoeckenius. He works with SOCs to solve their detection challenges.

In this video, Derek explains why and when organizations need purple teaming, including:

  • How attack detection impacts cyber resilience
  • The challenges that purple team exercises address
  • How purple teams work with your SOC
  • What steps are necessary before engagement

People, Process, Technology

Detecting sophisticated cyber attacks relies equally on the skills of SOC analysts, the processes at work in their team, and the technology they use. In this video, security consultant Derek Stoeckenius explains why the three interdependent elements of people, processes, and technology are equally important when building a resilient detection capability.

The F-Secure Guide to Purple Teaming

Purple teaming is used to test and improve detection and response capability, traditionally, by utilizing the skills of red (offensive) and blue (defensive) teams in a competitive simulation. However, an alternative, collaborative approach blends the skills of both teams to maximize efficiencies, contextualize learnings, and increase the real-world relevance of the exercise. This paper explains demonstrates the process in-depth.
