What Is a Blue Team?

There is a counterpart to the Red Ream called the Blue Team. The Blue Team’s role is to protect the network from the Red Team’s simulated attacks.

In the last video, you learned about how the Red Team will try to attack a network in order to identify its vulnerabilities. An organization simulates these attacks to see if they are adequately prepared for an actual attack. To assess how well they could defend themselves, they can also have a Blue Team in place. This team’s role is to respond as though these are actual attacks and defend against them. The Blue Team will try to prevent the Red Team from being successful.
