At mnemonic, our Purple Team test not only confirms your defensive capabilities, but immediately enhances them by exposing your team to the most relevant attacker techniques.

Evaluate your ability to detect real threat actor techniques

A Purple Team test is a collaboration between the attacking (Red) and defending (Blue) teams aimed at enhancing your organisation's security defences. By aligning the objectives of these teams, we create an environment that allows us to benchmark your existing detection capabilities and identify new and effective detection strategies.

Our Purple Team tests are designed to measure your ability to accurately detect and respond to real attacker behaviours. During these tests, our Red Team employs real-world Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) used by threat actors. This approach provides a clear and measurable assessment of your organisation’s detection coverage and overall security operation capabilities

Why choose mnemonic?

We are deeply committed to improving the security of the organisations we work with. Whether or not you are a customer of our Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services or not, a Purple Team test is an ideal way to verify what kind of detection and response capabilities your organisation has or needs. A mnemonic Purple Team test provides:

• Custom, state-of-the-art threat intelligence on the latest attacker techniques, threat groups and sector-based threats
• Highly specialised Red Team operators who can emulate even the most advanced threat actors
• A highly knowledgeable Blue Team with pre-developed strategies for how to detect even the most sophisticated attacks

Deliverables

The end goal of a Purple Team test is to improve the defensive security of the organisation. For that to happen, the Blue team must learn what areas to improve, and management must understand that these improvements follow a robust security strategy. Therefore, we provide the following deliverables in our Purple Team exercises:

• An Executive Summary showing overall outcomes, benchmarks, and metrics from the test
• A list of quick wins that right away improves the organisation's defensive success
• Strategic recommendations to improve long-term visibility, detection, and response capabilities

In addition to the reporting deliverables, we enrol you in our mnemonic Purple Team Platform to help you document, track, share, reproduce, score and improve on all Purple Team tests. You will gain access to collaborate with us in real time and get detailed, measurable results from all your tests with historical tracking and follow-up.
