Purple Teaming
Hidden gaps between offense and defense let intruders linger undetected. Packetlabs’ Purple Teaming exercise unites our expert Red Team with your in‑house Blue Team in live attack simulations. Together, we expose security weaknesses and vulnerabilities, tune detections, and validate fixes in real time. You leave with sharper detections, faster response times, and measurable proof that your defenses can stop the next breach before it starts.
Your three‑step path to faster, smarter defense:
Attack like Adversaries: Our Red Team launches tailored exploits across on‑prem, cloud, and SaaS environments.
Detect and Tune, Live: Your Blue Team builds and refines SIEM/SOC rules as each tactic unfolds, closing detection gaps on the spot.
Fix and Validate: We retest instantly, proving dwell time drops from days to minutes, and defenses get stronger with every cycle.
Unite offense and defense. Detect faster. Prove Resilience.

Service Highlights
Dwell Time Reduced in Real Time.
Every missed alert starts a stopwatch. During live sprints, our Red Team attacks while your Blue Team tunes detections on the spot. We benchmark how long it takes to spot, triage, and contain each tactic, then iterate until dwell time shrinks from days to minutes. Why it matters: Attackers thrive on dwell time. By shortening it in practice, you prove your investment turns into measurable risk reduction that stakeholders can see immediately.
The Packetlabs Commitment
Trusted by Healthcare Providers
We recognize the sensitivity of PHI and the strict compliance standards healthcare organizations face. Every Packetlabs tester is OSCP-minimum certified, background-checked, and skilled to operate safely within regulated healthcare environments. Our services help meet compliance with HIPAA, PIPEDA/PHIPA, SOC 2, ITSG-33, NIST SP 800-115, and ISO 27000/27799 series. Packetlabs is trusted by leading Hospitals and Healthcare Providers.
Reduce Dwell-time
The real value of a red‑team exercise isn’t the breach—it’s the lessons that follow. In our Post‑Mortem Debrief, Packetlabs sits down with your blue team to replay the attack minute‑by‑minute, highlighting every detection opportunity that slipped past the SIEM or SOC analyst. For each gap we map the root cause, recommend the improvements required to close it, and prioritize fixes by dwell‑time reduction and business impact.
CREST-Accredited Expertise
Your leadership team can’t afford guesswork—they need rock‑solid proof the people testing your defenses meet the world’s highest bar. That’s why Packetlabs earned CREST accreditation, cybersecurity’s gold‑standard seal awarded only after rigorous, hands‑on exams and ongoing audits by the Council of Registered Security Testers.
Beyond Automated Testing
While automated scanners scrape the surface, Packetlabs’ expert-led penetration tests probe the logic, business workflows, and chained exploits that scanners routinely overlook. Leveraging manual exploitation techniques, threat-intel-driven scenarios, and creative lateral thinking, our team exposes high-impact vulnerabilities competitors miss and translates them into clear, fix-ready guidance.
Why Invest in Purple Teaming Assessments?
Optimize Threat Intelligence
Purple teaming assessments bridge the gap between offensive insight and defensive reality, turning abstract threat intelligence into concrete, testable detection capability. Rather than having red teams operate in isolation and blue teams react afterward, purple teams run collaborative, scenario-driven exercises where adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) are executed in a controlled way while defenders observe, tune, and respond in real time.
That collaboration converts raw intel about what attackers do into repeatable detection logic, actionable playbooks, and measurable security improvements: all validated against live, realistic activity rather than theoretical models.
Shed Light on Possible Attack Scenarios
Purple teaming assessments are a collaborative exercise that brings red-team attackers and blue-team defenders into the same room (virtual or physical) with a shared objective: discover realistic attack paths and harden detections and response.
Unlike a traditional red team, which focuses on exploitation and impact, or a traditional blue-team exercise, which focuses on detection and response in isolation, purple teaming blends both activities in real time. This cooperative approach accelerates learning: as attackers demonstrate techniques, defenders immediately test and tune telemetry, alerting, and response playbooks against those exact behaviors.
Bridge Gaps in IT Infrastructure
Purple teaming is uniquely placed to turn raw threat intelligence (IOCs) and adversary behavior (TTPs) into workable security improvements because it couples attacker execution with defender validation in real time.
The result is not just a list of detections and vulnerabilities: it’s a catalog of actionable tasks that are prioritized, owned, and measured against your company’s strategic goals.
Move From Opinion to Evidence
Purple teaming starts with shared scoping and objectives. Rather than separate red and blue exercises run in parallel, purple engagements begin with a joint planning session where stakeholders (red, blue, SOC, threat intelligence, engineering, and product owners) agree on goals, success criteria, and acceptable risk.
This upfront alignment turns ambiguous assumptions into testable hypotheses such as, “If an adversary uses Pass-the-Hash against a domain admin, our EDR should alert on process creation X within 3 minutes.” By converting assumptions into measurable objectives, teams immediately move from opinion to evidence.
