- Purple Teaming

Attack and Defense,
Working Side by Side.

We run collaborative exercises that pair our attack team directly with your defensive team, sharpening detection and response in real time instead of waiting for a final report.

What We Cover

- Industries We Serve

Purple Teaming Built Around Your Sector

Every SOC has blind spots specific to its own environment, and the detection gaps that matter most in a bank rarely match the ones that matter most in a legal firm or a retailer.

We tailor each exercise to the attack techniques most relevant to your sector, so your analysts build real readiness against threats your business is genuinely likely to see.

Finance

We run purple team exercises with financial institution security teams to sharpen detection of fraud-related attack techniques.

Healthcare

We collaborate with healthcare security teams to improve detection of attacks targeting patient data systems.

Legal

We work with legal sector IT teams to strengthen detection around confidential document access attempts.

Retail & E-Commerce

We collaborate with retail security teams to improve detection during high-transaction periods.

- Why AWJ Tech

What Our Purple Team Exercise Delivers

A purple team exercise from AWJ Tech turns testing into immediate, practical improvement.

01

Real-Time Collaboration

Our attackers and your defenders work together in the same session, not in isolation.

02

Immediate Feedback Loop

Your team sees exactly what was detected and what wasn’t, as it happens.

03

Targeted Technique Testing

We test specific attack techniques relevant to your environment and threat model.

04

Detection Rule Tuning

We help tune SIEM rules and alerts based on what the exercise reveals.

05

Faster Skill Development

Your analysts build hands-on experience recognizing real attack patterns.

06

Lower Cost Than Separate Engagements

Combining attack and defense in one exercise is more efficient than running them separately.

07

Flexible Scope

Exercises can focus narrowly on a few techniques or cover a broader attack scenario.

08

Measurable Improvement

We can re-run exercises over time to measure detection improvement.

09

Stronger SOC Performance

Findings translate directly into a more effective, better-tuned SOC.

A Red Team Report Tells You What You Missed.
It Doesn't Fix It.

AWJ Tech's Purple Team Fixes Detection Gaps as They're Found

Waiting for a final report to learn what your team missed wastes the most valuable moment for improvement. AWJ Tech works alongside your analysts in real time, closing detection gaps during the exercise itself.

- Common questions

What Clients Ask About
Purple Teaming

Do we need a SOC or SIEM already in place?

Yes, purple teaming is most valuable when you already have monitoring tools in place to tune and improve.

How is this different from red teaming?

Red teaming tests detection covertly and reports afterward. Purple teaming is collaborative and real-time, with immediate feedback.

Can we choose which attack techniques are tested?

Yes. Technique selection is based on your specific threat model and areas of concern.

How long does a purple team exercise take?

Most exercises run one to two weeks, depending on the number of techniques and scenarios covered.

Will this help us get more value from our existing security tools?

Yes. A primary goal is tuning your existing tools and detection rules, not just recommending new purchases.

Can we run purple team exercises regularly?

Yes. Many clients run exercises periodically to measure ongoing improvement in detection capability.
