Understand Why Your Controls Fail and How to Fix Them
Penetration testing shows whether you can be compromised. Purple teaming goes further to identify why detection and response controls fail and how to measurably improve them in real time.
Powered by OnDefend BlindSPOT, our program strengthens detection and response through collaborative, intelligence driven attack simulations that unite red team operators and blue team defenders.
Testing Capabilities
OnDefend’s purple teaming program covers:
- Attack Simulations: Run simulated attacks against live security controls using BlindSPOT and manual red team techniques.
- Detection Engineering: Design MITRE ATT&CK mapped detections, tune alert thresholds, and align with response playbooks.
- Hands-on Keyboard Activities: Execute manual attacker techniques from assumed breach to evaluate detection across key adversary behaviors.
- Continuous Validation via BlindSPOT: Automate attack simulation for ongoing detection and response validation as environments evolve.
- Results Correlation: Identify which controls worked, where detection failed, and how response processes performed in practice.
- Defensive Maturity Assessment: Evaluate whether security tooling and response processes are operationally effective, not just deployed.
Purple teaming transforms attack simulations into defensive improvements and enables teams to detect faster, respond better, and prove controls work against real adversaries.
Outcomes
The outcomes you walk away from a purple teaming engagement with OnDefend include:
- Detection and response gaps identified across tooling, monitoring, and response workflows
- Root cause analysis of control failures with actionable tuning and engineering recommendations
- Measurable improvement in detection coverage, alert fidelity, and response speed
- Continuous validation via BlindSPOT as environments, threats, and controls evolve
