Sentaris’ Purple Team service proactively uncovers hidden vulnerabilities, strengthens your defences and protects what matters most.
Purple Teaming is a collaborative cyber security assessment where your internal security teams, such as the Security Operations Centre (SOC), work alongside external Penetration Testers to evaluate and improve security controls. Unlike traditional adversarial testing, Purple Teaming focuses on enhancing both detection and response capabilities by actively testing how well security measures perform against simulated attacks. This method fosters continuous learning and improvement, ensuring that defences are thoroughly evaluated and optimised across all stages of potential attacks.
At Sentaris, our Purple Teaming service takes a collaborative approach to cyber security by uniting your internal security teams with our expert Penetration Testers. Through this method, we work together to rigorously test and optimise your security controls, ensuring that threats are not only detected but effectively mitigated. By aligning our methodology with industry standards like the MITRE ATT&CK framework, we help your organisation strengthen its defences, enhance response capabilities and stay ahead of evolving cyber threats.
Purple Teaming is an advanced cyber security assessment that brings together your security leadership, Security Operations Centre (SOC), and our expert Penetration Testers to collaboratively evaluate the effectiveness of your security controls. Unlike traditional testing, Purple Teaming fosters an open, cooperative environment where the focus is on enhancing detection and defence capabilities.
At Sentaris, our Purple Teaming approach uses a “white box” method that emphasises control testing, ensuring that critical security measures are functioning effectively. This approach is crucial because if a malicious action goes undetected, your team has no opportunity to respond. By prioritising control testing, we ensure that your defences are solid at every stage, rather than merely testing your SOC’s ability to react to known threats.
Each testing scenario assumes that an attacker has already gained a certain level of access, allowing us to assess your organisation’s defence in depth. By aligning our methodology with the MITRE ATT&CK framework, we systematically test across a variety of attack scenarios, providing comprehensive coverage that simplifies both reporting and remediation. We also streamline testing by bundling similar attacks together, such as grouping all Cloud-based attacks, which delivers more value in less time.
To minimise the strain on your SOC and optimise long-term results, we recommend developing an annual roadmap that breaks down tests into manageable weekly sessions. This ensures continuous improvement while balancing resources effectively.
Purple Teaming with Sentaris helps strengthen your defences by combining the expertise of your internal teams with our advanced testing, ensuring that your organisation remains resilient against evolving threats.
