Overview

What is Purple Teaming?

Our collaborative security engagement unites offensive and defensive teams to validate detection capabilities, enhance incident response, and fortify the overall security posture through realistic attack simulations. Our certified security professionals leverage industry-standard methodologies to deliver comprehensive findings, identify detection gaps, and provide actionable remediation guidance customized to your specific environment.

Our Process

How We Do It

A structured, repeatable methodology that delivers measurable outcomes — every engagement follows the same rigorous process.

01
Objective Definition

Define engagement goals, target techniques, and success criteria in collaboration with your SOC team.

02
Baseline Detection Review

Assess existing detection rules, alerts, and playbooks before the simulation begins.

03
Joint Attack Execution

Execute attack techniques live, with red and blue teams working together in real time.

04
Live Detection Analysis

Observe and document what was detected, missed, or delayed during each technique.

05
Detection Engineering

Co-develop new or improved detection rules and playbooks to close identified gaps.

06
Reporting & Validation

Deliver findings with prioritized recommendations, then retest to confirm improvements.

FAQ

Common Questions

Can't find what you're looking for? Reach out directly — our team responds within one business day.

What is purple teaming?

Purple teaming is a collaborative exercise where red (offensive) and blue (defensive) teams work together in real time to test and improve detection and response capabilities.

How is this different from red teaming?

Red teaming operates independently to test detection without SOC awareness. Purple teaming is collaborative and transparent, with both teams working together throughout the engagement.

Will our SOC team be involved?

Yes, your SOC/blue team is directly involved throughout the engagement to review live detections and co-develop improvements.

What do we get at the end?

You receive detailed findings, a detection gap analysis, and updated detection rules or playbooks ready for production use.

How often should we run purple team exercises?

We recommend running them periodically, especially after major infrastructure changes or new detection tooling deployments.
