That mindset doesn’t help with SOC effectiveness. A single purple team engagement doesn’t build real capability, it just creates a false sense of confidence.
Real uplift comes from repetition, rehearsal, and refinement. In aviation, passing a check once is far from being enough. Proficiency is earned and maintained through regular practice. The same principle applies here.
The SOC operates constantly with new threats, tools, and mistakes, so testing must keep pace. That requires a mature, collaborative approach where defenders and testers work together, like scientists experimenting until the model holds.
