Purple Teaming Providers

Purple teaming is a collaborative security exercise that brings together offensive (red team) and defensive (blue team) capabilities to improve an organisation's detection and response posture. Unlike adversarial red team exercises where the blue team is unaware, purple teaming is a cooperative effort where attackers and defenders work side by side.

The red team executes specific attack techniques while the blue team observes whether their tools and processes detect the activity, then jointly works to improve detection rules, response playbooks, and security controls. Purple teaming uses frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK to systematically test coverage across different attack techniques, identify detection gaps, and develop specific mitigations.

This approach maximises the value of both offensive and defensive capabilities by ensuring that every attack technique tested leads to a measurable improvement in detection and response. Purple teaming is particularly effective for organisations that have invested in security operations and want to optimise their return on security tooling investments. It provides clear, actionable outcomes and measurable improvement in security posture.
