After the distribution of the Red Team Evaluation Report, the Blue Team will generate their own report. This report should be based on the monitoring and detection alerts, response and recover activities and process-steps taken by the Blue Team during the exercise. The report should include the defense and monitoring techniques and capabilities that the Blue Team is currently using to detect cyber security attacks (e.g. events, alerts, incidents). The report should also include the Blue Team's observations regarding the identified limitations or weaknesses.
