The Blue Team
Defensive Security
The Blue Team is responsible for integrating all relevant security controls and technologies to protect all important corporate assets against all kinds of malicious actors and attacks. The common tasks of the Blue Team include operational monitoring, supporting the SOC (security operations center) in detecting IoA’s (indicators of attack) and IoC’s (indicators of compromise) and supporting the Incident Response Team in the event of critical security incidents. They also advise on the introduction of new products and technologies to improve the overall corporate security.
The Blue Team often consists of internal experts of an organization, either as a permanent team or as an overlay. Sometimes the team is augmented with external consultants hired for specific engagements, for example performing official security audits.
