COLLABORATIVE TESTING

Purple Team Exercises

Bridge the gap between your red and blue teams. We execute real attack techniques alongside your defenders - improving detection coverage, validating controls, and closing gaps in real-time.

The Purple Team Loop

A continuous cycle that measurably improves your detection posture

PHASE 01

Attack

We execute TTPs from real threat actors mapped to MITRE ATT&CK

→
PHASE 02

Detect

Your team attempts to identify the activity using existing tooling and processes

→
PHASE 03

Tune

Together we refine detection rules, log sources, and alert thresholds

→
PHASE 04

Verify

We replay the attack to confirm the new detection fires correctly

↻ Repeat across your entire MITRE ATT&CK coverage

Collaborative, Not Adversarial

Unlike red teaming where defenders don't know we're coming, purple team exercises are fully collaborative. We sit alongside your SOC analysts, execute attack techniques openly, and work together to build detections that actually fire when it matters.

The result is measurable improvement: your team leaves each session with new or refined detection rules validated against live attacks - not theoretical coverage.

What You Walk Away With

Detection rules tested and validated against real attack execution
MITRE ATT&CK coverage heat map showing detection gaps
SOC analyst upskilling with immediate feedback loops
Documented attack-to-detection mappings for audit evidence

Techniques We Cover

Initial Access & Execution Phishing payloads, macro execution, LOLBins usage
Persistence & Privilege Escalation Registry keys, scheduled tasks, token manipulation
Lateral Movement & C2 PsExec, WMI, named pipes, beaconing detection
Exfiltration & Impact DNS tunneling, encrypted channels, ransomware simulation

Measurable Defensive Gains

Every session produces concrete, measurable improvements to your security posture

Detection Coverage

Quantified ATT&CK technique coverage before and after each session

Alert Fidelity

Reduced false positives and tuned alert thresholds for actionable signals

Log Source Validation

Confirmed that critical events are actually being captured and forwarded

Response Time

Measured mean-time-to-detect for each technique tested during the session

Process Gaps

Identified weaknesses in escalation paths and analyst decision-making

Analyst Skills

Hands-on experience investigating real attack activity with expert guidance

Delivery Options

Choose the engagement model that matches your maturity and goals

Focused

Workshops

Half-day or full-day sessions targeting specific ATT&CK tactics. Ideal for teams starting their detection engineering journey.

  • Single tactic focus per session
  • Live detection rule building
  • Immediate hands-on practice
  • Written playbook output
Comprehensive

Full Operations

Multi-day engagements covering complete attack chains from initial access through to exfiltration. Tests your full detection stack.

  • End-to-end attack simulation
  • Cross-team coordination testing
  • ATT&CK coverage heat map
  • Executive summary report
Ongoing

Continuous Purple Teaming

Regular cadence of exercises aligned to emerging threats. Build detection maturity progressively throughout the year.

  • Monthly or quarterly sessions
  • Threat-intel driven scenarios
  • Progress tracking over time
  • Maturity scoring framework

Is This Right for You?

Best for: Security teams investing in detection engineering who want measurable improvement in their SIEM/EDR coverage - and the confidence that their alerts will fire when real attackers come.
