Purple Teaming

Sharpen detection and response through live collaborative purple team exercises

Purple team engagements combine offensive and defensive testing. Our consultants simulate live attacks against your internal network while working closely with your SOC to review detection capabilities and identify gaps. This real-time collaboration helps your team understand what alerts are triggered, where signals are missed, and how to improve response. We can also include AD exploitation training to help your SOC recognise real-world tools and techniques used to compromise a Windows environment.

Test real attack paths to validate your monitoring capability
Give your SOC practical experience with attacker tools
Improve alert quality and reduce false negatives

Service detail

What your SOC can learn from Purple Teaming

A Purple Team Exercise is a collaborative engagement that tests your ability to detect and respond to threats in real time. It combines red team attack scenarios with blue team monitoring, helping you identify gaps and improve outcomes.

How collaboration boosts threat detection

Real-world training with measurable outcomes

Conducted in collaboration with your organisation, the goal of our engagement is to:

Improve your resilience against cyber threats by detecting and responding to attacks before impact
Identify misconfiguration and coverage gaps in your existing security product
Strengthen your protection through continuous feedback and knowledge sharing between a united offensive and defensive team

Our delivery process

Delivering a Purple Team engagement

Our goal is to strengthen your security operations team by improving their ability to detect and respond to real-world threats.

Threat simulation

Configure the environment to simulate real threats, using a mix of automated and manual adversary em

Blue team response

Run the Blue Team’s response procedures to identify and analyse activity linked to attacker behaviou

Detection engineering

Refine detection strategies using insights gained during the exercise to improve monitoring and reduce gaps

Benefits

Why organisations choose us for Purple Teaming

What comes next

Expand your security coverage

Once your detection and response capabilities are sharpened, the next step is to validate them with a Red Team Exercise. It’s the ultimate test of how your systems and people stand up to a real-world attacker.

Simulate a real adversary to test your people, processes and technology
Identify blind spots and validate your detection strategy under pressure
Build confidence through a realistic, high-impact assessment of your defences

From risk assessment to rapid response - we’re with you every step of the way.

What is a Purple Team engagement?

A Purple Team engagement is a collaborative cybersecurity exercise where offensive (red team) and defensive (blue team) experts work together to improve detection and response capabilities in real time.

How does a Purple Team differ from a Red Team exercise?

A Red Team simulates real-world attacks without the defenders’ knowledge, while a Purple Team works openly with defenders to improve detection, response and learning during the exercise.

Who should consider a Purple Team exercise?

Organisations with an established security team and tooling who want to validate and improve their detection and response capability should consider a Purple Team exercise.

What are the benefits of a Purple Team exercise?

You get targeted improvements in your detection and response processes, better alignment between teams, and immediate feedback to refine your security posture.
