At Airbus Protect, we believe in proactive cybersecurity measures that put you ahead of the curve. Our purple team exercises bring together the best of both worlds, combining the strengths of red and blue teams to create an unstoppable force for protection.
Picture this: your organisation’s defences fortified like never before. Working hand in hand with your internal SOC team, our expert consultants will simulate real-world attacks, uncover vulnerabilities and strengthen your security posture. Purple teaming is like having an elite cybersecurity dream team on your side!
A purple team exercise is a collaborative cybersecurity assessment where a red team (posing as attackers) work alongside a blue team (defenders) to simulate real-world attacks. By sharing knowledge and insights, a purple team exercise helps identify vulnerabilities, improve defence strategies and enhance overall cybersecurity resilience.
Through ‘real world’ simulated attacks, purple teaming is the best way to:
A red team conducts simulated attacks to assess security vulnerabilities, while a purple team is a collaborative effort between the red team (attackers) and blue team (defenders). While a red teaming exercise can be adversarial, purple teaming focuses on knowledge sharing and improving defence strategies by leveraging the expertise of both teams.
This depends on the team’s working environment and the type of exercise it’s undertaking. But generally speaking, the following skills are useful:
These skills collectively empower a purple team to assess, enhance, and optimise an organisation’s security posture.
We work with organisations across all sectors – from government to financial services to critical infrastructure and beyond. This, combined with our decades of experience protecting Airbus’ complex systems and networks, makes us the perfect candidate to help you undertake a purple team exercise. Here are some of our strengths:
Organisations in the financial services, healthcare and energy sectors, as well as any other critical infrastructure providers, are all prime candidates for a purple team exercise.
Why? These entities face constant and evolving cyber threats that can have severe consequences. Ask yourself:
If any of these apply to you and your business, our pre-assessment (including an adversary profile and tabletop exercise) will strategically help you evolve your cyber security.
At Airbus Protect, we are dedicated to your security. We recognise the significance of fortifying your cybersecurity and safety. Through our first-hand experience, innovative solutions and customer-centricity, we empower you to conquer challenges while we shield your invaluable assets. Join forces with us today.
We’re often asked about the similarities and differences between red teaming and pentesting. Put simply, red teaming is a more holistic test of organisations’ cyber defences, whereas pentesting focuses on specific attack vectors.

In an era of increasing digitalisation and globalisation, businesses are increasingly reliant on complex and dispersed supply chains. While this strategy offers numerous benefits, it also exposes organisations to significant new risks, particularly in the realm of cybersecurity. This white paper explores why supply chain cybersecurity management has become crucial and proposes concrete strategies to address this complex challenge.
Reminder: Cyber Threat Intelligence Cyber threats are continuously growing in complexity and frequency, therefore the ability to rapidly process and act upon Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) can mean the difference between a mitigated threat and a breach. In the first part of our CTI focused blog posts series, we introduced the Intelligence Production Cycle and [...]
The need for business and aviation resilience is imperative to manage external risks on highly interconnected systems. Part-IS is the latest mandatory regulation by The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). The Part-IS objective is to improve Information Security Management Systems (ISMS) by enabling the aviation ecosystem to mitigate and respond to cyber threats, collaboratively [...]
