Purple teaming is about collaboration that strengthens detection and response. By merging offensive and defensive strategies, purple teams help SOC analysts gain deeper insights into offensive tradecraft, understand how attacks manifest in their tools, and improve their detection responses.
As workloads move to the cloud, the challenge grows. In today’s rapidly evolving cloud environments, maintaining robust security is crucial. This whitepaper helps you understand what effective purple teaming looks like in modern environments and how to make it work for your organization.
Some years ago, we decided that our purple team exercises needed a cloud migration of their own, leading to the creation of our first cloud purple team in 2020. We designed the next generation of Attack Detection Capability Assessment (ADCA), a highly collaborative purple team exercise performed alongside a client’s detection and response personnel.
In this whitepaper, we share experiences from real-world engagements to explore how effective purple teaming can enhance your organization’s detection capabilities.
