Which penetration testing approach combines offensive and defensive methodologies?
1 Answer
Verified archiveThe correct answer is B. Integrated penetration testing (Purple teaming).
Explanation: Integrated penetration testing, also known as purple teaming, combines both offensive (penetration testing) and defensive (security operations) methodologies. This approach encourages collaboration between red teams (offensive security) and blue teams (defensive security) to improve overall security posture by sharing insights, techniques, and working together to identify and remediate vulnerabilities effectively.
