# Red, Blue, and Purple Teams
By Daniel Miessler
[Source](https://danielmiessler.com/study/red-blue-purple-teams/), retrieved December 23, 2021
- **Red Team** tests the effectiveness of a security program by emulating the tools and techniques of likely attackers.
- **Blue Team** is the internal security team that defends against attackers. Should be distinguished from standard security operations teams, as most do not have a mentality of constant vigilance against attack.
- **Purple team** integrates the defensive tactics and controls from the Blue Team with the threats and vulnerabilities found by the Red Team. Exists to ensure and maximize the effectiveness of both. Not a team as such, but rather a permanent dynamic between Red and Blue.
