Purple team exercises Train your defenders against a real adversary.

A purple team exercise puts our attackers and your defenders in the same room. Together we prove which attacks you would catch, and fix the ones you would miss.

What you getConfirmed, working detections, and a defensive team that has practiced against a real adversary.

What it is

A purple team exercise is a collaborative assessment structured around the MITRE ATT&CK framework. We work directly with your defenders to run selected attacker techniques and verify that your detections, alerts and responses perform as expected.

What your team gets

Proof of which attacker techniques you detect and which you miss
Detections tuned and confirmed while we are working with you
A defensive team that has practiced against a real adversary
A clear map of coverage for your leadership

How it works

Scope it together

We agree on what is in bounds, what matters most to your business and how we stay safe while testing.
We attack, carefully

Our ethical hackers work like a real adversary inside the agreed limits. If we find something serious, we call you right away instead of waiting for the report.
Walk through the results

You get findings in plain language, ranked by business risk, with clear fixes your team can carry out.
Confirm the fixes

We retest what you fixed, so you know the problem is truly solved.

A good fit if

You have security tools or a monitoring provider and want to know they work
Your defenders want hands-on practice
You want measurable improvement from one exercise to the next

Year-round partnership

Make it part of year-round support.

Purple team exercises is available as part of HackerGuards, our year-round support. Instead of one test a year, our ethical hackers keep testing as your environment changes, so new weaknesses close before an attacker finds them.
