CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) — Question 285

Which of the following teams is best suited to determine whether a company has systems that can be exploited by a potential, identified vulnerability?

Answer options

• A. Purple team
• B. Blue team
• C. Red team
• D. White team

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The Red team is specifically tasked with simulating attacks to identify vulnerabilities in systems, making them the best choice for determining exploitability. The Blue team focuses on defending against attacks, the Purple team combines both offensive and defensive strategies, and the White team is typically involved in high-level governance and policy-making, rather than direct vulnerability assessment.
