Evaluate and develop your cybersecurity team's capabilities in a single engagement: a purple team assessment.
An advanced, collaborative security exercise to maximize the effectiveness of your security measures. In Purple Teaming, Thawd team of cybersecurity experts will simulates realistic cyber-attacks to test and probe defenses while collaborating with the blue team to improve detection and response. The key objective of Purple Teaming is to provide a learning experience for your team. This collaborative approach not only identifies vulnerabilities in your security posture but also enhances the skills and readiness of your security team, leading to a more resilient and proactive defense mechanism.
During this assessment, our team (the red team) executes attack scenarios to test specific aspects of your defense team’s capabilities (the blue team). Both teams coordinate their actions and responses, creating the ultimate purple team.
The red team kicks off the test scenarios, carefully logging and time-stamping all activities so they can easily be compared to blue team responses. Throughout this phase, our team works side-by-side with the blue team.For each scenario, our team carefully evaluates the effectiveness of the controls in place, documenting recommendations for improvement when needed.
During this phase, our red team works closely with your blue team to identify the capabilities, controls, and technologies that make up your program. Focus areas include monitoring, active defense, response, and physical security.
Following these sessions, the red team designs scenario-based tests tailored to your team’s capabilities. These are provided to the blue team for feedback.
For each control weakness or gap the red team identifies, our team can help the blue team make improvements or design additional controls.
This typically includes developing modifications, rules, signatures, or integrations that address identified deficiencies.
In this final phase, our team provides a full report of our observations during test execution, documenting activities and responses.
This report includes a summary of your overall security posture and any suggested remediation efforts. Following delivery, our team can perform additional remediation testing.

Phase 1 - Discovery & Design
During this phase, our red team works closely with your blue team to identify the capabilities, controls, and technologies that make up your program. Focus areas include monitoring, active defense, response, and physical security.
Following these sessions, the red team designs scenario-based tests tailored to your team’s capabilities. These are provided to the blue team for feedback.
Phase 2 - Test Execution
The red team kicks off the test scenarios, carefully logging and time-stamping all activities so they can easily be compared to blue team responses. Throughout this phase, our team works side-by-side with the blue team.
For each scenario, our team carefully evaluates the effectiveness of the controls in place, documenting recommendations for improvement when needed.
Phase 3 (Optional) - Control Enhancement
For each control weakness or gap the red team identifies, our team can help the blue team make improvements or design additional controls.
This typically includes developing modifications, rules, signatures, or integrations that address identified deficiencies.
Phase 4 - Reporting
In this final phase, our team provides a full report of our observations during test execution, documenting activities and responses.
This report includes a summary of your overall security posture and any suggested remediation efforts. Following delivery, our team can perform additional remediation testing.
