Purple Teaming: Build Your Defense While Testing It

Not ready for a full Red Team operation?
Purple Teaming is the smarter way to strengthen your security — collaboratively, transparently, and measurably.

At Cloud Tribe, we bring together offensive and defensive minds in one coordinated simulation — blending Red Team tactics with Blue Team insight. The result? You learn exactly how your defenses hold up and how to make them better, in real time.

What Is Purple Teaming?

A Purple Team engagement is not about catching the attacker — it’s about working with them.

Unlike a traditional Red Team (where stealth is the goal), Purple Teaming is fully transparent. We test your detection and response capabilities using real-world attacker techniques, and we collaborate directly with your security team throughout the process.

It’s training, validation, and hardening — all in one.

Why Choose Purple Teaming?

You don’t need to wait until you’re “ready” for a Red Team to start improving your defenses.

Purple Teaming is ideal when you:

  • 🔍 Want to understand how your SIEM/EDR/alerts perform against real attacks
  • 💬 Need collaboration between dev, sec, ops, and infrastructure teams
  • 🧠 Want to train your blue team with live attacker behavior
  • 🧰 Want to validate your tools and configurations without surprises
  • 🛠️ Need to align MITRE ATT&CK coverage with real business risks
  • ⏱️ Have limited time or budget but want maximum learning per hour

It’s not a simulation you survive — it’s a partnership you grow from.

What a Purple Team Engagement Looks Like

We work side by side with your team to simulate and test attack chains, from initial access to impact — mapping each step to MITRE ATT&CK®, and checking whether your defenses detect, alert, and respond as expected.

Step-by-Step Collaboration:

  1. 🎯 Define Objectives
    We focus on what matters most: crown-jewel systems, high-risk users, or regulatory concerns.

  2. 🧪 Simulate Adversary Behavior
    Our offensive experts execute specific TTPs — from phishing to lateral movement — while your blue team watches, tunes, and learns.

  3. 🧬 Measure Detection & Response
    For each tactic, we evaluate what was detected, how fast, and whether the response was effective.

  4. 🛡️ Improve Together
    We help your team tune detections, improve playbooks, and test again — iterating until defense improves.

What You Walk Away With

Purple Teaming gives you measurable improvements and real knowledge, fast.

  • ✅ Full visibility into your strengths and gaps
  • ✅ Better-tuned security tooling (EDR, SIEM, logging pipelines)
  • ✅ Custom threat scenarios based on your business & tech stack
  • ✅ Hands-on learning for your detection and response teams
  • ✅ Clear MITRE ATT&CK mapping of what’s covered — and what’s not
  • ✅ A prioritized roadmap for defense hardening

Why Cloud Tribe?

We don’t just simulate attackers — we help you build real, lasting defense capabilities.

At Cloud Tribe, our Operators speak both languages: offense and defense. We work with your engineers, analysts, and leadership to turn insights into improvements, and tactics into playbooks. Whether you’re running Splunk, Elastic, Sentinel, or custom tooling — we make your security stack work smarter.

Stronger detection. Sharper response. Real growth.
That’s the power of a purple mindset.

Let’s build resilience together — one attack simulation at a time.
