Summary

In the cybersecurity industry, Blue Teams ("Defenders") attempt to prevent and catch Red Teams ("Attackers"), while Purple Teams (Hybrid) aim to bridge the gap between attacker and defender mindsets by collaborating on security assessments. The Bugcrowd Security Knowledge Platform contributes to all three functions - Red Team augmentation with a crowd of trusted ethical hackers, standardization and scaling of workflows for collaboration, and integration with SDLC to facilitate knowledge sharing and feedback loops. By adopting a hybrid approach, organizations can improve their defensive capabilities and uncover hidden risks in the attack surface, ultimately enhancing their overall security posture.
