Purple Team Readiness Programs
Red and blue team collaboration for improved security and communication
Purple Team Cyber Simulation Readiness Programs for Cybersecurity
Cloud Range purple team simulations allow red and blue team members to collaborate together toward a common goal on the live virtual Cloud Range cyber range. Working closely in a real-world scenario allows the combined purple team to share information, combine analyses, practice maximizing their capabilities, and focus on improving specific skill sets in a safe environment.
These simulations are facilitated by a live instructor (Attackmaster™) on Cloud Range’s live-fire cyber range platform, guiding either and/or both sides when necessary.
The simulated, dynamic scenarios improve the detection of threats and vulnerabilities and network monitoring. Team members can step into other roles and get more context for the work they do, which helps the purple team create new techniques and tactics that improve cyber defense.
Purple team programs help your blue team better understand how attackers work so they can more quickly detect and respond to attacks “in the wild.” It also helps to identify any gaps within teams and opportunities to improve the organization’s security posture.
Additionally, purple team simulations help nurture a culture that encourages collaboration and cybersecurity improvement.
Cloud Range also has red vs. blue team readiness programs, which encourage friendly competition between the two teams.
What is a purple team?
In cybersecurity, a purple team includes both attackers from the red team and defenders from the blue team. While the red vs. blue team program has the teams competing, the purple team simulations have the teams working together to improve the organization’s security posture.
What is a purple team readiness program?
A purple team readiness program is an ongoing, collaborative initiative where offensive (red team) and defensive (blue team) security practitioners work together during live-fire cyberattack simulations. Rather than competing, both sides share real-time insights, analyze adversary behaviors, and refine response tactics within a safe, emulated enterprise network.
By participating in this continuous program, teams gain the hands-on experience needed to bridge the knowledge gap between offense and defense. Ultimately, these ongoing simulations help organizations proactively identify operational vulnerabilities, accelerate threat detection, and measurably improve their overall cyber readiness before a real incident occurs.
Develop Targeted Skills
In addition to our cyber simulation programs for teams, Cloud Range offers hundreds of FlexLabs SkillsPaks that energize your team member’s individual development with hands-on cybersecurity skills training in our interactive, emulated environment.
