Purple Team: The Art of Offensive-Defensive Collaboration in Cybersecurity

Accompanied by Eric M. Gagnon and Martin Dubé

In an ever-changing threat landscape, the traditional separation between offensive (red team) and defensive (blue team) teams is showing its limitations. The purple team is emerging as an essential collaborative approach to strengthening the security posture of modern organizations.

Join us for this interactive session where we will explore how purple teaming is transforming cybersecurity by fostering synergy between penetration testers and defenders. Our three accomplished experts will share their field experiences, proven methodologies, and lessons learned from real-world deployments of purple team programs.

On the agenda:

• The fundamentals and concrete benefits of purple teaming
• Methodologies and frameworks for effective collaboration
• Case studies: successes, failures, and lessons learned
• How to measure and demonstrate added value
• Organizational and cultural challenges to overcome
• Tools and techniques for operationalizing the purple team
• The future of purple teaming in the face of emerging threats

This dynamic discussion will give you actionable ideas for implementing or optimizing your purple team approach, whether you are a CISO, security manager, or cybersecurity professional looking to evolve your practices.
