Purple Team
Assessment
We run adversary techniques with your defenders in the loop. You see what detects, what misses, and what to tune now, not weeks later.
Typical response time: 1 business day.
Plan the Technique
Select ATT&CK techniques relevant to your environment and likely adversaries.
Execute in Control
Run the technique with scoped guardrails and explicit success criteria.
Observe Detections
Track what fired, what was noisy, and what did not trigger at all.
Tune and Retest
Refine logic, improve triage context, and immediately rerun to validate.
Purple Team Assessment Scope
Technique Validation
Run adversary techniques in a controlled way and verify that detections trigger as expected.
Confidence in real-world detection coverage
Detection Tuning
Reduce false positives and improve fidelity with attack telemetry from your own environment.
Better signal-to-noise for your SOC
Coverage Gap Analysis
Identify blind spots across endpoint, identity, cloud, and network telemetry.
Prioritized roadmap for coverage improvements
Red + Blue Alignment
Create shared language between offensive and defensive teams through practical exercises.
Faster response and better collaboration
Detections Validated
Per engagement, based on scope and maturity
Rules Tuned
Improved logic and reduced false positives
Gaps Identified
Actionable items mapped to ATT&CK tactics
How We Run Purple Team Campaigns
Targeted Detection Sprint
1-2 weeks
Focused execution against a specific tactic set such as credential access or lateral movement.
SOC Maturity Campaign
3-5 weeks
Multi-tactic exercises to benchmark and improve triage, investigation, and response workflows.
Program Build-Out
Quarterly cadence
Recurring purple exercises with backlog management and measurable detection engineering progress.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a purple team assessment?
A purple team assessment brings red and blue teams together to run adversary techniques collaboratively. The goal is to improve detection and response quality through immediate validation and tuning, not to conduct a stealth-only test.
How is purple team different from red team?
Red teaming is adversarial and stealth-focused. Purple team exercises are collaborative and transparent. We execute techniques and work directly with defenders to improve detections in near real time.
When should we run purple team?
Purple team is ideal when you want measurable improvements in detection engineering, alert quality, and SOC readiness. It pairs well before or after red team engagements.
