Adversary Village Panel
Purple Teaming
Purple teaming is no longer just about red meets blue, it is about shared intelligence, continuous collaboration, and realistic adversary emulation. In this panel, we explore how modern security teams are moving from siloed operations to unified strategies that reflect how real attackers operate.
By rethinking purple teaming as a proactive, intelligence-driven discipline, organizations can uncover detection gaps, improve response times, and drive measurable improvements in their defenses. Join us as we unpack how aligning offensive and defensive teams unlocks the full potential of purple teaming and leads to lasting security impact.
