The Detection Problem

Security tools generate alerts. But do they actually detect real attacks? Most organizations discover they have massive blind spots only after a breach.

How Purple Teaming Solves This

Unlike red team assessments where attackers work independently, purple teaming features continuous collaboration between offensive and defensive teams to rapidly improve detection.

Traditional Pentesting

×Red team operates independently
×Blue team only learns after completion
×No real-time feedback or tuning
×Findings report, no skill transfer
×Point-in-time assessment only

Purple Team Assessment

Continuous red/blue collaboration
Immediate feedback and detection tuning
Hands-on training for defenders
Detection rules delivered ready-to-deploy
Repeatable tests to measure improvement

Powered by MITRE Caldera

MITRE Caldera is an advanced adversary emulation platform enabling automated, repeatable security assessments based on real-world threat actor TTPs mapped to the ATT&CK framework.

Automated Attack Chains

Execute complex, multi-stage attacks mirroring real threat actor behavior

ATT&CK Framework Integration

All techniques mapped to MITRE ATT&CK for standardized, industry-recognized reporting

Repeatable Testing

Run identical tests over time to measure detection improvements and validate control effectiveness

Atomic Testing

Single-technique validation

Test individual ATT&CK techniques in isolation to validate specific detection rules and identify blind spots with surgical precision.

Scenario-Based Testing

Full attack lifecycle

Execute complete attack scenarios chaining multiple techniques together, simulating real-world adversary behavior from initial access to objectives.

Comprehensive Deliverables

Actionable reports, detection content, and training to measurably improve your security posture.

ATT&CK Coverage Map

Visual representation of tested techniques with current detection coverage

Gap Analysis Report

Prioritized blind spots with remediation guidance and implementation timeline

Detection Rules

Ready-to-deploy SIEM queries and detection logic for identified gaps

Incident Playbooks

Response procedures for attack scenarios tested during engagement

Team Training

Knowledge transfer workshop with SOC analysts and security engineers

Baseline Metrics

Detection performance baseline for measuring future improvements

Build Detection
That Actually Works

Stop guessing if your security tools work. Purple team assessments provide concrete evidence of detection capabilities and actionable roadmaps for improvement.
