Which of the following teams combines both offensive and defensive testing techniques to protect an organization's critical systems?

Purple teams integrate the offensive strategies of red teams (simulated attackers) with the defensive tactics of blue teams (security defenders). This collaboration allows for continuous improvement of an organization's security posture by having red team findings directly inform blue team defenses, and blue team observations guide red team attack simulations. This iterative process enhances threat detection, incident response, and overall resilience. Red teams focus solely on offensive penetration testing. Blue teams focus solely on defensive operations and incident response. Yellow teams are not a standard cybersecurity team designation.
