• Samsung has a secret security program with specialized RED, BLUE, and PURPLE teams that work to protect Galaxy devices.
• The RED team simulates attacks to find vulnerabilities, the BLUE team patches them with security updates, and the PURPLE team does a little bit of both.
• These teams operate covertly worldwide, using “military-inspired tactics” to defend devices from all kinds of cyber threats.

Samsung’s new blog post reads like the plot of a Hollywood spy thriller. It details the operations of covert teams within the company that work to ensure your Galaxy devices are well protected against all kinds of threats. Samsung uses terminology like “classified,” “covert,” and “inspired by military practices” to describe its “specialist” RED, BLUE, and PURPLE teams that come under a program called “Project Infinity.” These teams are tasked with safeguarding your Samsung devices and are directly responsible for the security updates you wait for every month.
