Purple Team Services

Real-time collaboration. Real-world threats. Real results.

UltraViolet Cyber’s Purple Teaming pairs our offensive operators with your defensive teams in a live, collaborative simulation. Together, we simulate realistic attacks, observe how detections and responses perform, and identify immediate ways to harden your defenses.

Why Purple Teaming?

Purple Teaming delivers outsized value when:

  • You need visibility into how well detections actually perform
  • Your SOC must prove effectiveness to boards or regulators
  • You're recovering from a breach, tech refresh, or organizational change
  • You're moving from CVSS to threat-led defense
  • You want real data to prioritize budget and detection engineering

Purple Team Offerings

Each engagement blends operator expertise and threat intelligence, tailored to your industry, mapped to MITRE ATT&CK.

 

1. Detection Readiness Exercises

We emulate known threat actors to validate how your security stack detects and surfaces real signals.

  • Built using UltraViolet's threat intelligence and operator playbooks
  • Detection gap analysis aligned to MITRE ATT&CK
  • Outputs help prioritize tuning, tooling, and detection engineering investment
2. Hands-on Defense Simulations

Red and blue teams operate in sync, with live attacks, real-time feedback, and shared insights on how to improve detection and response.

  • Observers embedded throughout the exercise
  • Interactive sessions focus on sharpening alerts, investigation workflows, and response playbooks
  • Enables learning and alignment across teams in a compressed window
3. Threat-led Attack Scenarios

Custom attack scenarios simulate the actors and techniques most relevant to your business, based on your sector, assets, and threat profile.

  • Emulates credible threats with precision
  • Provides detailed attack timelines, response metrics, and business risk mapping
  • Helps prove or improve readiness against real adversary behavior

Flexible Engagement Models

Choose the level of collaboration that fits your team’s time, maturity, and objectives.

Lone Wolf Ops

Red team runs independently and presents findings during collaborative review sessions. Low lift for your team.

Integrated Ops

Live red team activity observed by your blue team in real time via screen sharing. Enables tuning and skills transfer as attacks unfold.

Onsite Integrated Ops

Our operators work shoulder to shoulder with your team onsite for hands-on collaboration and deeper knowledge transfer.

What Makes UltraViolet Different?

Human-led, tech-enabled

Exercises powered by real operators, enhanced by our proprietary tooling (like Voodoo).

Built for tuning, not just testing.

Every engagement generates artifacts your team can use to improve, fast.

Trusted by the industry.

Our experts teach sold-out Black Hat trainings and have built detection programs for federal agencies and high-risk environments. 40% of staff are NSA or DoD trained.

Part of a unified security model.

Our Purple Teaming connects to UltraViolet's full-spectrum services - from testing to detection to dedicated defense - closing the gap between exposed and resolved, and accelerating resilience where it counts.
